Gaishi Automotive News The first generation of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles have achieved remarkable success.
However, the question arises: What changes in battery materials will drive further progress to extend driving range and reduce costs?, Better anodes or cathodes for lithium-ion batteries have been the focus of in-depth research in the past.
The cathode is one of the main components of a battery.
Several cathode candidate materials are expected to give batteries higher energy storage capabilities, thereby extending driving range.
However, for unknown reasons, the capacity or the amount of current drawn out in a given time tends to decrease rapidly with the charge and discharge cycle.
