Work on the production and presentation of automotive lithium-ion batteries continues, but researchers from the university have shown that the new device may change the future of electric vehicles. The group presented a new prototype of a battery, which they claim significantly outperforms its competitors in such indicators as safety, production, and costs.
One of the researchers noted: "This new technology could be revolutionary in the field of automotive battery production. We are confident that our prototype has the potential to create safer and more accessible batteries, making electric vehicles more appealing to a wider audience."
The new battery is based on a completely new design that excludes the use of rare and expensive materials such as cobalt. Researchers also claim that their technology provides a higher level of safety since it eliminates the possibility of overheating, often encountered in lithium-ion batteries.
Currently, the new technology is only in the research and prototyping stage, but its potential has already been noted in the industry. Researchers hope that in the future they will be able to create commercially available models for production, which will help make automotive batteries more economical and safe.
