ScienceChina develops new lithium battery material for faster charging

Chinese researchers have developed a cobalt-free, high-nickel cathode using magnesium, calcium, titanium and zirconium to improve lithium-ion transport and structural stability. Tests showed the battery could reach nearly 80% charge in three minutes, retain 82.4% capacity after 350 cycles, and achieve an energy density of 278.6 watt-hours per kilogram at minus 20 degrees Celsius.
