New Single-Crystal Technology Promises Million-Kilometer EV Batteries

POSTECH researchers develop high-temperature synthesis method enhancing nickel-based cathode durability.

Researchers identified a critical temperature for synthesizing durable single-crystal nickel cathodes.
This method significantly extends the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles.
The new synthesis strategy enhances structural and chemical stability, reducing degradation.
The research was published in ACS Materials & Interfaces by a team led by Professor Kyu-Young Park.
Further studies aim to make EV batteries cheaper, faster, and longer-lasting.
