European researchers developed a new charging method for lithium-ion batteries, potentially doubling their lifespan. By using pulsed current instead of constant current, they reduced electrode damage and electrolyte thickness. Experiments conducted at synchrotron facilities showed promising results, with batteries retaining 80% capacity after extended use. This innovation could significantly improve battery performance and longevity in various applications.
