Laser-Engineered Battery Material Could Make Fast Charging Better

Electric vehicles (EVs) and many portable electronics depend on lithium-ion batteries. But one big challenge remains: slow charging speeds. Most lithium-ion batteries take too long to charge because the materials inside don’t let lithium ions move quickly enough. A new study explores a cutting-edge way to fix this problem using laser engineering on a common battery material called NMC811 (nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide).
