Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new gel electrolyte that stabilizes anode-free lithium-ion batteries, potentially improving safety, longevity, and reducing manufacturing costs. This breakthrough could increase energy density for electric vehicle batteries while lowering production expenses, building on previous research that has shown anode-free designs can double volumetric density without increasing battery size.

· 4 pulledResearchers at the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science claim to have developed a new gel electrolyte that will help stabilize anode-free lithium-ion batteries.
This should improve the safety and longevity of this emerging battery technology, while presenting a cost-saving to manufacturers.
Anode-free lithium-ion batteries have been explored for a number of years, with a South Korean research team using an anode-free lithium metal battery architecture last year to double the volumetric density of a battery, without increasing its size.
Researchers say a new gel-based electrolyte could increase EV battery energy density while drastically lowering costs.
