Shortening diffusion Pathways for Energy Dense and Ultrahigh Power Lithium Ion Batteries (SPEED-UP-LIBs)
The findings could pave the way for ultra-fast charging, making it possible to fully charge high-areal-capacity batteries in just one minute
Thick batteries store large amounts of energy, essential for applications like electric vehicles requiring long driving ranges. "But why does it take tens of minutes to charge these lithium-ion batteries?鈥, asks Martin Haase, a physical chemist at the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science. 鈥淭he main limitation lies in the slow diffusion of lithium-ions through thick battery materials."
To solve this problem, Haase鈥檚 Vici project explores the potential of a novel synthetic nanomaterial to enable thick, energy-dense batteries with dramatically reduced ion transport resistance. 鈥淭he findings could pave the way for ultra-fast charging, making it possible to fully charge high-areal-capacity batteries in just one minute鈥, says Haase.
