Summary
A Korean research team from POSTECH, KAIST, and Gyeongsang National University has developed an anode-free lithium metal battery that achieves a record-breaking energy density of 1,270 Wh/L. This breakthrough technology could nearly double the driving range of electric vehicles using the same battery volume, potentially enabling round trips between major cities like Seoul and Busan on a single charge. The innovation addresses key EV limitations including winter performance anxiety and range concerns.
