Scientists have developed a new technology that could make electric car batteries smaller, lighter and longer-lasting, potentially letting drivers travel farther on a single charge without carrying a heavier battery

Scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology developed a new technology for anode-free batteries. This innovative approach focuses on enhancing lithium deposition to improve battery efficiency and longevity. By restructuring the copper surface for lithium storage, they have addressed issues with dendrite formation. Applying a thin layer of MXene further stabilizes the battery’s performance.
