The findings could revolutionize various applications, from electric vehicles to handheld electronics, but the technology must now be scaled up for broader manufacturing.City University of Hong Kong researchers believe they have achieved a pivotal breakthrough in battery technology that has profound implications for our energy future.
Professor Ren Yang, Head and Chair Professor of the Department of Physics , Professor Liu Qi, PHY, and their team have addressed the issue by unlocking the potential of LMR cathode materials. In their research, they stabilized the unique honeycomb-like structure within the cathode material, resulting in longer-lasting and more efficient batteries.
Professor Liu noted, “Our work has solved the voltage decay problem in the LMR cathode, with a capacity almost two times higher than the widely used cathode materials, ultimately paving the way for more powerful and sustainable energy storage solutions.” Thus one hopes that the increase in capacity might well be there as well as a longer lifespan. But there remains a mountain.Can the tech scale economically? If they make it to market, likely so. But lets not expect a lot of publicity until manufacturers know they can be made for a profit giving consumers benefits.
