New Battery Material Pegged As Breakthrough For Faster Charging
A new group of battery materials (niobium tungsten oxides) could lead to faster charging and high capacity lithium-ion cells for electric cars.
The team, consisting of researchers from the University of Cambridge, Argonne National Laboratory, Diamond Light Source, Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, have shown that micrometer-sized Nb16W5O55 and Nb18W16O93 provide higher capacity and energy density during fast charging (1C and 20 C) than nanoscale materials and formulations, which are complex and costly to make.
