A group of researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology has made major progress in finding one of the biggest challenges for next-gen batteries. They’re looking into a new electrode material called quasi-lithium, which could let electric vehicles go up to 1,000 kilometers on just one charge. But it’s not just about energy capacity, they’re also focusing on safety. The team has figured out what causes dangerous oxygen gas to be released during high-voltage charging and has come up with a way to make these powerful batteries safe and stable.
