The results have the potential to mark a new era, as researchers believe these recent advancements might generate batteries with longer ranges and quicker charging periods, so the university in n In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cam.ac.uk\/research\/news\/watching-lithium-in-real-time-could-improve-performance-of-ev-battery-materials\">press release<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lithium is a chemical component that is essential for how batteries work. When a battery is about to run out, it is possible to notice a saturation of lithium on the surface and a lack of active particles in the core \u2014 this absence of lithium results in a decrease in battery capacity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research conducted by the British university attempted to monitor the flow of lithium ions to understand that issue. It identified a unique and non-uniform pattern of ion particles during the battery operation. By analyzing the interactions between the ions, scientists now comprehend why cathode materials lose ten percent of their capacity after the first discharge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outcome of that study might affect many industries in the process. For instance, nickel-rich lithium oxides are common in electric car batteries. However, the transport of lithium ions during operating conditions is still not entirely known, which limits the batteries\u2019 maximum performance. For that reason, the researchers from Cambridge now aim to upgrade the lifetime of such batteries for the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-2ce852d4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/german-researchers-are-on-track-for-a-strong-and-stable-lithium-metal-battery\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"German researchers are on track for a strong and stable lithium-metal battery\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">German researchers are on track for a strong and stable lithium-metal battery<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Researchers at the Karlsruher Institut f\u00fcr Technologie (KIT) and the Helmholtz Institut Ulm in Germany have developed a lithium-metal battery with a high energy density &hellip; <a href=\"\">Continued<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":2559,"featured_media":514283,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":""},"categories":[8553],"tags":[128799,35535],"location":[55977],"internal_archives":[],"class_list":["post-413389","selected","type-selected","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital","tag-increased-capacity","tag-lithium-ion-batteries","location-united-kingdom"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"featured_img":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2021_075_Rekordverdaechtige-Lithium-Metall-Batterie_1_72dpi.jpg","coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/author\/pedro\/","display_name":"Pedro d\u2019 El Rodrigues"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 3 years ago","modified":"Updated 3 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on October 18, 2022","modified":"Updated on October 18, 2022"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on October 18, 2022 2:00 pm","modified":"Updated on October 18, 2022 2:00 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"category":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/category\/digital\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Digital<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Digital<\/span>"],"slug":"category","name":"Categories"},"post_tag":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/tag\/increased-capacity\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">increased capacity<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/tag\/lithium-ion-batteries\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Lithium-ion batteries<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">increased capacity<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Lithium-ion batteries<\/span>"],"slug":"post_tag","name":"Tags"},"language":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">EN<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">EN<\/span>"],"slug":"language","name":"Tags"},"post_translations":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/?taxonomy=post_translations&#038;term=pll_634ebad9d0a6e\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">pll_634ebad9d0a6e<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">pll_634ebad9d0a6e<\/span>"],"slug":"post_translations","name":""},"location":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/location\/united-kingdom\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">United Kingdom<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">United Kingdom<\/span>"],"slug":"location","name":"Locations"},"internal_archives":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"internal_archives","name":"Internal Archives"}},"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected\/413389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/selected"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2559"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413389"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=413389"},{"taxonomy":"internal_archives","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal_archives?post=413389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
