“…[C]ompanies like Tesla, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Samsung are making great strides in improving [electric vehicle] range and battery capacity, but all have yet to fully surpass significant hurdles…[T]he use of negative electrodes made of lithium metal could ‘dramatically increase battery storage capacity’…[and] drastically improve capabilities of electric-powered vehicles…[An In Vivo Formed Solid Electrolyte Surface Layer Enables Stable Plating of Li Metal provides the details…This improvement could triple the range of these nascent vehicles…[If increased-capacity batteries and battery systems are implemented in electric vehicles, it wouldn’t just be a slight improvement to the technology. Battery capacity and range are currently the Achilles’ heel of the energy revolution that are keeping electric cars in second place to fossil fuel-powered vehicles…[A breakthrough that boosts EV technology and investment] could ultimately have a definitive impact on the environment and the continued efforts against the progression of climate change…” click here for more
