NTU Singapore team develops ultra-fast charging Li-ion battery with new TiO2 gel anode material

Green Car Congress

A battery equipped with the new anode material can be recharged up to 70% in only 2 minutes. With our nanotechnology, electric cars would be able to increase their range dramatically with just five minutes of charging, which is on par with the time needed to pump petrol for current cars. A 2013 paper (Dylla et al. ) Chandran, B.
