Road Trip Range Anxiety Could End with This Self-Healing Battery for EVs
As summer approaches, many electric vehicle (EV) owners are excited about road trips. But one big worry remains; running out of battery power before reaching a charging station. This concern, known as range anxiety, makes long-distance travel stressful for many EV drivers. However, scientists at SINTEF have developed a new self-healing battery that could solve this problem for good. How This New Battery Works The breakthrough battery is different from traditional ones. It uses a lithium-nickel-manganese oxide (LNMO) cathode and a silicon-graphite anode, arranged in a unique sandwich-like structure. But what makes it special is its self-healing ability. It contains…
