A team of researchers at UNIST has developed a new type of battery electrode that could significantly increase the driving range of electric vehicles (EVs).
The electrode, which is five times thicker than current versions, allows for higher capacity without slowing down charging speeds.
The new electrode has an areal capacity of 20 mAh/cm², much higher than commercial batteries, and has a high density of 3.65 g/cm³, which directly increases energy storage.
This breakthrough could enable EVs to travel over 600 kilometers on a single charge, making electric vehicles more efficient and practical.
