• ‘Pure science’: Powerful and fast-charging EV batteries advance with dry method The study shows that moving away from liquid-based production could be key to more powerful, stable, and faster-charging electric vehicle (EV) batteries. • A new battery manufacturing technique aims to transform everything about EVs - from cost to charging speed. • Engineers at the University of Chicago have found that ditching toxic liquid slurries in battery production results in a more powerful, longer-lasting electrode. • The new technique involves a solvent-free dry process to create a more robust electrode architecture. • “The economic, environmental, and societal concerns were what was pushing dry-electrode technology forward,” said Professor Minghao Zhang, the first author of the new paper. • “Our work shows that, not only does the dry method deliver those advantages, but it also improves the performance of battery itself.
