Applying 12.5 bar pressure can double electric car battery lifespan

Researchers at Cambridge University found a surprisingly simple way to double the lifespan of electric vehicle batteries-without new chemistry, costly additives, or exotic ”supermaterials.” Their trick: maintain lithium-ion cells under a precisely calibrated constant pressure. Published in Nature Energy, the study tackles a well-known problem: battery cells expand and contract during charging cycles, gradually damaging […]
