Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could revolutionize EVs: 'We expect it to have a significant impact'

How well many electric vehicles perform is greatly influenced by microscopic oxygen holes in their battery's cathodes.  That's why researchers at the Pohang University of Science and Technology, or POSTECH, are working to stabilize the key component, according to a news release.  When common lithium-ion batteries operate, ions move between the anode and nickel-based cathode through the middle portion, called the electrolyte. POSTECH's team said …
