World’s strongest battery could extend EV range by 70%, make phones credit card-thin | The structural battery uses carbon fiber for its electrodes negating need for copper or aluminum, which add weight.
Swedish researchers have developed the world's strongest battery, which can carry 30Wh/kg of energy and also bear loads in an EV.
The world’s strongest battery, developed by researchers at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, is paving the way for massless energy storage that could help build credit-card-thin mobile phones or even increase the range of electric vehicles by as much as 70 percent, a press release said. By 2021, the team had developed this battery’s strength and electrical capacity to deliver an energy density of 24 watthours per kg (Wh/kg), which was further increased to 30 Wh/kg in recent reports. It will require large investments to meet the transport industry’s challenging energy needs, but this is also where the technology could make the most difference,” Asp concluded in the press release.
