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. Nanostructuring also results in lowered volumetric energy density, which could be a considerable problem for mobile applications. The new battery will also be able to endure more than 10,000 charging cycles. A 2013 paper (Dylla et al. )
