Korean Scientists Make Battery Breakthrough That Could Deliver Game-Changing Performance For Future Electric Vehicles

18 Apr 2025 | Abstracted from The Cool Down

"South Korean scientists have discovered why a unique battery cathode that could unlock electric vehicle range improvements... they have found how oxygen is forming in quasi-lithium cathode materials, along with a design principle to tackle the problem...the cathode can 'theoretically' provide 30% to 70% more energy through higher-voltage charging, resulting in a 600-plus mile range.. lithium-ion battery fires...are less likely..."
