Revolutionary battery technology to boost EV range 10-fold or more
Science Daily ^

Posted on 04/02/2023 10:32:37 AM PDT by FarCenter

The electric vehicle market has been experiencing explosive growth, with global sales surpassing $1 trillion (approx. KRW 1,283 trillion) in 2022 and domestic sales exceeding 108,000 units. Inevitably, demand is growing for high-capacity batteries that can extend EV driving range. Recently, a joint team of researchers from POSTECH and Sogang University developed a functional polymeric binder for stable, high-capacity anode material that could increase the current EV range at least 10-fold.

A research team led by POSTECH professors Soojin Park (Department of Chemistry) and Youn Soo Kim (Department of Materials Science and Engineering) and Professor Jaegeon Ryu (Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) of Sogang University developed charged polymeric binder for a high-capacity anode material that is both stable and reliable, offering a capacity that is 10 times or higher than that of conventional graphite anodes. This breakthrough was achieved by replacing graphite with Si anode combined with layering-charged polymers while maintaining stability and reliability. The research results were published as the Front Cover Article in Advanced Functional Materials.

On one hand, it’s embarrassing that you never see developments by Americans anymore. On the other hand, these developments never seem to pan out at all.

There is a reason for that.

Most scientists 'can't replicate studies by their peers'

Yeppers. Then ‘science’ guys have been telling us about that breakthrough that will give the EV 100-200 percent greater range since Robert Anderson around 1832 and William Morrison around 1892 and Thomas Edison from 1875 until his death in 1931.
Yes sir that breakthrough is just around the corner.
Meanwhile the EU is hedging their bets on EVs and starting to talk about biofuel.

What we shall probably get from this approach is a battery array that can burst into flame and generate heat approximately the level of the surface of the sun. At that temperature EVERY element has had the electron shells stripped off and changed into a plasma. The Three Laws of Thermodynamics have not been repealed.

Keep it sane, people. Battery arrays as the prime source of power to drive vehicles capable of carrying passenger or commercial transport of goods for more than short distances or in very specialized niche applications shall never be practical. A combination like that used for Diesel-electric locomotives is a much more worthy means to deliver motive power. And the system has been well-proven.

I remember reading about an American university got a govt grant to develop some kind of battery technology and they ended up selling it to China.

Increase EV range by 10X?

Maybe, but one thing has always been clear. The laws of physics (at least in this universe) are immutable.

I read a lot of tech and science articles each day.

The reporting on sudden, miraculous, advances in climate related technology has increased like 5X times in the last couple months.

Pure political propaganda.

You cannot believe anything you read any more.

One thing to do something on a Petri dish. Another to do it at scale.

Thanks to the left, any news with the word “science” attached to it is automatically red flagged as some sort of a fraud.

Prime examples are glow-bull warming and all the garbage associated with the covid scamdemic.

Now this comes out associated with EV’s, yet another scam.

And I’m expected to be happy about this “news”?

The ev market is only growing due to government command.

I will be laughing all the way to the bank when I finish my AC batteries. All I need is a few billion in taxpayer funded grants and bureaucratic mandates forcing the people to buy my products.
