Battery breakthrough extends EV range to over 3,000 miles on a single charge
In the fast-paced world of electric vehicles (EVs), a major breakthrough in battery technology is set to significantly enhance energy storage capacity. This development arrives at a crucial moment, as the EV industry is experiencing rapid growth, making it an ideal time for such a transformative advancement.
Researchers at Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH) have introduced a revolutionary technique that can amplify the energy storage capacity of batteries by an astonishing tenfold. This leap forward not only propels battery technology to new heights but also has the potential to reshape the entire landscape of electric vehicles.

Professors Soojin Park and Youn Soo Kim of POSTECH, in collaboration with Professor Jaegeon Ryu of Sogang University, have developed a groundbreaking solution to this long-standing issue. They have engineered a special binding material that prevents a high-capacity silicon anode from expanding. The result is a lithium battery with ten times the capacity of those with graphite anodes.
