SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are indispensable for modern devices like electric vehicles, which are playing an increasingly crucial role in people's lives. However, to fully electrify vehicles with Li-ion batteries, the main hurdle is achieving rapid charging without compromising energy density. The convenience and acceptance of electric vehicles by consumers are also influenced by factors such as their range and charging times. Additionally, the utilization of Li plating for ultra-fast charging raises safety concerns due to high cell polarization, requiring careful attention.
