A joint research team from KAIST and LG Energy Solution has announced a major breakthrough in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology. Their new research addresses the long-standing dendrite problem in lithium-metal batteries.
“This research has overcome the biggest barrier to the introduction of lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles,” said Professor Hee Tak Kim from KAIST in a press release.
This enhanced range would substantially reduce range anxiety for drivers and open up new possibilities for long-distance electric travel.
The breakthrough also enables a battery lifespan of over 300,000 km (186,411 miles) and effectively solves a critical safety and performance issue that has long hindered the advancement of next-generation EV batteries.
