Pohang’s breakthrough involves replacing the typical graphite anode with a manganese ferrite one, which was found to store one-and-a-half more lithium ions than the researchers expected.
Charging an electric vehicle usually takes about 10 hours or longer, and even with fast-charging methods, it takes at least 30 minutes. That is assuming there is an available spot at a charging st .
To increase the capacity and quicken the charging of lithium-ion batteries, Professor Won Bae Kim and his group at POSTECH use the electron spin of the anode material.
