On December 13, according to Futurism, as more and more companies and governments take measures to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, it is becoming increasingly clear that the range of electric vehicles must be further extended. We must expand the range and production of batteries to surpass fossil fuel-powered vehicles. In response to this necessity, companies like Tesla, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Samsung have made great strides in improving battery range and capacity, but none of them has yet to fully break through major barriers. However, researchers at the University of Waterloo published a new paper saying that using negative electrodes made of lithium metal can "significantly increase the storage capacity of the battery", thereby greatly improving the performance of electric vehicles. The paper published in the journal Joule details how scientists added compounds composed of phosphorus and sulfur elements to the electrolyte liquid. The researchers said that this compound reacts with the lithium metal electrode in the battery and spontaneously covers it with an extremely thin protective layer. This protection allows the use of lithium metal electrodes in the battery, which increases the storage capacity without causing risks. This improvement may extend the range of electric vehicles by 2 times.On a small scale, the breakthrough could increase battery capacity and improve the efficiency of battery systems. But if all of this can be applied to electric vehicles, it would be more than just a slight improvement in the technology. Battery capacity and range are the Achilles' heel of the current energy revolution, even as it makes electric vehicles the second most popular power type after fossil fuel vehicles. Therefore, this development will not only give a major boost to the development of electric vehicle technology, it may also ultimately have a decisive impact on the ongoing efforts to combat the environment and climate change. If electric vehicles become the main form of transport on the roads, greenhouse gas emissions will be significantly reduced, thus improving our chances of continued survival on Earth.
