POSTECH researchers have developed a hybrid anode technology that significantly enhances energy storage for electric vehicles while mitigating risks of thermal runaway. The innovative 'magneto-conversion' strategy, led by Professor Won Bae Kim, achieves a fourfold increase in energy capacity compared to traditional graphite anodes and maintains over 99% Coulombic efficiency across 300 cycles, addressing critical challenges in lithium-metal batteries. This advancement promotes stable charge-discharge cycling by effectively suppressing dendrite growth.
