Pohang University boffins come up with a better Lithium battery
 

630km on a single charge, if it ever sees the light of day

Pohang university boffins led by Professor Soojin Park have developed anode-free lithium batteries which they claim have a longer life on a single charge.

The newly developed anode-free battery has a volumetric energy density of 977Wh/L which is 40 per cent higher than the conventional batteries (700wh/L). This means that the battery can run for 630km on a single charge.

Batteries usually change the structure of anode materials as lithium ions flow to and from the electrode during repetitive charging and discharging. This is why the battery capacity decreases over time.
