Scientists make key breakthrough that could solve major issue in electric vehicles: 'High-capacity'

New battery technology could enable quicker charging times and higher energy density, according to Interesting Engineering. Researchers at Tohoku University have been looking at ways to incorporate fullerene into battery anodes. Typically, an anode uses carbon in the form of graphite as a housing for lithium ions.  Fullerene is essentially carbon atoms arranged in a rounded cage-like structure. It is stable enough to withstand high temperatures …
