In 2023, electric vehicle batteries live with certain constraints, due to a variety of reasons. Reliable energy densities that achieve the ranges customers expect require batteries of certain sizes—and of course, certain weights. Battery degradation over charge cycles is also a major concern, both from an engineering standpoint, and also from a vehicle owner standpoint—because buying replacement batteries isn’t cheap.
These are just a couple of the reasons why researchers are currently working to improve battery technology for EVs. In a December, 2022 paper published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Materials, a team of researchers from Japan and Australia discussed their experimentation into enhancing lithium battery stability, in a solid-state battery form.
