Lithium batteries charge faster thanks to
nanochannels

New technology to be used in lithium batteries can
make them charge faster. The material graphite that was often used,
already had a successor that could not further be improved, was the
assumption. Until now, as researchers of the MESA+ Institute of the
University of Twente found out that by nano structuring the
material, new ‘paths’ will be created for lithium ions. This makes
the battery charge faster, the researchers show in a paper
published in the Journal of Power Sources.
