Scientists have discovered a pioneering method to radically improve the lifespan of batteries.The new technique, developed by a team from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) in China, enables a highly-promising type of battery to achieve 20,000 charging cycles with an energy density of 390 Wh/kg. For comparison, conventional lithium-ion batteries that are found in everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles last less than 1,000 cycles and have an energy density between 200-300 Wh/kg.The breakthrough concerns all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASLBs), which have several advantages over lithium-ion batteries, such as improved safety, energy density and longevity.Until now, their...
