An innovative cathode material, developed by Toyota researchers, significantly enhances all-solid-state fluoride-ion batteries. The new cathode, made from copper nitride, increases EV range from 372 to 745 miles per charge. Copper nitride interacts with nitrogen and fluoride ions, releasing three electrons per

Microvast introduces a battery system allowing electric vehicles to charge in 10 minutes, solving slow charging issues. This innovation addresses range anxiety, potentially increasing EV adoption and user convenience. Collaboration with major automakers aims to deploy this technology in new EV models

QuantumScape is pioneering the development of solid-state batteries, promising enhanced energy storage capabilities. Their technology could significantly reduce charging times and extend device lifespan, with energy densities exceeding 800 watt-hours per liter. A strategic partnership with Volkswagen aids QuantumScape’s efforts to scale

Lithium-ion batteries are crucial but pose fire risks due to their liquid electrolytes. University of Missouri researchers, led by Matthias Young, are developing solid-state batteries with safer, solid electrolytes. A challenge remains: a persistent interphase layer forms at the solid component interface,
