Electric vehicles have become preferred because they are environmentally friendly and offer low operating costs. However, the issue of charging time is still an issue that many users are concerned about. Lithium-sulfur batteries are a new technology with great potential in the electric vehicle industry.
Charging Time Can Be Less Than 5 Minutes
Lithium-sulfur batteries have the ability to charge at a capacity and speed that can replace lithium-ion batteries. Thanks to the newly developed carbon material and a catalyst consisting of cobalt-zinc clusters, researchers have succeeded in producing high-energy batteries that can be charged in under 5 minutes. This development has significantly improved the charge and discharge rates of lithium-sulfur batteries.
The team, led by Shizhang Qiao from the University of Adelaide, aims to accelerate the wide-scale use of lithium-sulfur batteries. Thanks to this technology, electric vehicles will be able to charge faster and offer longer range. This will allow electric vehicles to become a more common choice in daily use.
