Science & Tech - NTU researchers create new type of li-ion battery

[Fantail]

Scientists create a lithium-ion battery with super speed charging and longer life

Batteries are the Achilles heel of most forms of technology. Most batteries take a long time to charge and don’t last more than a few years. Researchers at Nanyang Technology University recently created a new kind of battery that charges super fast and has a shelf life of 20 years.

...the discovery could change the electric car and mobile device industries dramatically.

“Equally important, we can now drastically cut down the toxic waste generated by disposed batteries, since our batteries last ten times longer than the current generation of lithium-ion batteries.”

If it works as they say it will be a great advancement in batteries and worth a kings ransom.
