Materials researcher at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zurich have created what is described as a simple and cost effective procedure that can improve the execution of conventional Li-ion rechargeable batteries. The adaptable procedure is likewise said to increase battery storage limit and lessen charging times.
Claire Villevieille, head of PSI’s battery materials research group, said that, while most scientists focus on the advancement of new materials, the team took an different methodology. “We checked existing component with a perspective to completely exploiting their potential.” By optimising the graphite anode on an conventional Li-particle battery, researchers increase battery performance.
