Researchers at Monash University have developed lightweight lithium sulfur batteries with twice the energy density of traditional lithium-ion batteries, enabling faster charging and discharging. This breakthrough, inspired by betadine chemistry, could revolutionize electric vehicles and aviation, offering longer ranges and reduced costs. The technology is poised for commercial application, with a startup launched to attract investment and further enhance performance.
CATL is set to launch its second-generation sodium-ion batteries in 2025, boasting an energy density of over 200 Wh/kg, a significant improvement from earlier models. These batteries will excel in low temperatures and offer enhanced safety, potentially replacing 20-30% of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries in smaller vehicles. Mass production is anticipated by 2027, as CATL continues to innovate in battery technology.

Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
