KAIST Researchers Increase Lithium Metal Battery Lifespan by 750 Percent with Water-Based Solution
KAIST researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to extend the lifespan of lithium metal batteries by 750%. By using an eco-friendly protective layer made of hollow nanofibres, the team was able to significantly enhance the performance of lithium anodes. This process, which uses guar gum and water, not only improves battery life but also re...
