New charging algorithm could double life of li-ion batteries | The new algorithm could greatly reduce the ageing effects of continuous recharge cycles
A team of European researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt University in Berlin developed an alternative charging solution to make li-ion batteries last much longer than...
The study shows that batteries become more resilient and retain a higher energy capacity after hundreds of discharge-recharge cycles by changing how the charger delivers current to electrolyte materials. The team used two of Europe's leading synchrotron facilities for particle acceleration, "BESSY II" and "PETRA III," to conduct the pulsed-current recharging experiments. "Pulsed charging could bring many advantages in terms of the stability of the electrode materials and the interfaces and significantly extend the service life of batteries," said TU Berlin professor Dr. Julia Kowal, co-author of the study.
