Researchers Demonstrate a Transformative Step to Boost the Energy Density of Lithium-Ion Batteries

According to a new study, soldiers who carry batteries weighing 15 to 25 pounds could now carry batteries that weigh significantly less but come with the same level of energy and offer better safety. Now, in the recent issue of the journal Nature, a research team at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory—the Army’s corporate research laboratory called ARL—and the University of Maryland (UMD) showed a revolutionary step in battery technology with the detection of a novel cathode chemistry.
