Researchers have unveiled a fast, eco-friendly technique that could transform lithium battery production.
The method, created by a group from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea, provides full solvent recovery for producing sustainable materials while improving electron and ion transit and lithium storage capacity.
According to experts, the discovery solves a long-standing problem in battery design by attaining nanoscale homogeneity between metal oxides, which effectively store lithium, and carbon-based or MXene materials, which permit rapid electron flow.
Recently, Korean researchers developed an ultrathin silver-ion coating that prevents dendrite formation in lithium-metal batteries, improving safety, lifespan, and commercialization potential for next-generation energy storage.
