Researchers: Nanoparticle Technology Could Cut EV Battery Size, Boost Range

摘要

Researchers at the University of California-Riverside (UCR) report that they’ve found a way to employ nanoparticle technology to cut the size and boost the range of electric-vehicle (EV) batteries. “By creating nanoparticles with a controlled shape, smaller, more powerful and energy-efficient batteries can be built,” according to the UCR summary. “By modifying the size and shape of battery components, the [researchers] aim to reduce charge times as well.”
