SEOUL, Sept. 4 (Yonhap) — South Korean battery maker LG Energy Solution Ltd. stated Thursday it has co-developed a complicated charging technology that permits electrical autos (EVs) with lithium metal batteries to be absolutely charged in simply 12 minutes.
The firm stated it has made the breakthrough with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in creating the technology that would allow EVs to journey greater than 800 kilometers on a single cost with fast-charging functionality.
The newest findings had been printed in Nature Energy, a distinguished science journal.
Lithium metal batteries are thought-about one of many next-generation options that may cut back weight and quantity in comparison with present lithium-ion batteries, enabling larger power density.
The business, nevertheless, has been going through challenges in commercializing lithium metal batteries as a consequence of an absence of progress in securing stability.
“We plan to continue to generate progress in the next-generation battery industry by addressing technical issues through our collaboration with the academic community,” stated Kim Je-young, chief technology officer (CTO) of LG Energy Solution.
