Scientists, including those backed by automotive giant Toyota, have made a breakthrough that could put a major dent in our e-waste problem and keep those electric vehicles’ lithium-ion batteries running for years to come.
Revitalizing old batteries
How’d they do it? Think of it like a super-powered energy drink for your car’s battery. These clever researchers have found a way to inject specific chemicals into aging lithium-ion batteries. This injection replenishes the lost charged particles that help the battery store power. Imagine giving your tired battery a second wind!
