University of Dundee study reveals oxygen's active role in improving battery performance
By
Ryan Nixon
Summary
Researchers at the University of Dundee and the University of Warwick have discovered that oxygen plays a more active role in battery energy storage than previously thought. Published in Nature Nanotechnology, the findings could lead to faster-charging, safer, and longer-lasting batteries for electric vehicles and portable electronics, challenging the traditional belief that battery charging activity was confined to metals like nickel.
