A team of researchers at Pennsylvania state university has found a unique solution to the range problem of modern all-electric cars, called "asymmetric thermoregulation design." The method is used to develop prototype lithium-ion batteries to improve the reaction rate. This method has a broad application prospect in the lithium-ion battery pack of modern pure electric vehicles. It is possible to charge the car for 10 minutes and have a range of 320 kilometers.
However, to achieve such extremely fast charging in the future, the battery needs to absorb 400 kilowatt-hours of energy, which cannot be solved by current lithium plating. But the researchers found that the problem could be avoided by using the concept of "rapid heating," which allows a preheated battery to maintain an extremely fast charging process over 1,700 cycles without any lithium coating.
The technology is scalable for all kinds of applications, but the process can take up to a decade. So that means we have a long way to go before we get to the final breakthrough. If successful, the technology could make electric cars a more reliable alternative to conventional fuel-powered vehicles.
