Researchers at Harvard University have developed a solid state battery that can be recharged in 10 minutes, and now it’s got Series A funding to scale production.
January 15, 2024: The lithium metal battery researchers developed at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) can also be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times — more than any other pouch battery cell.
Researchers at Harvard John A. Paulson SEAS have developed a new lithium metal battery that withstand at least 6,000 charging cycles and can be recharged in a matter of minutes.
A team in Cornell Engineering created a new lithium battery that can charge in under five minutes – faster than any such battery on the market – while maintaining stable performance over extended cycles of charging and discharging.
In thermodynamic terms, a brand-new main battery and a charged secondary battery are in an energetically greater condition, implying that the corresponding absolute value of free enthalpy (Gibb’s free energy) is higher [222, 223].
Rechargeable battery research includes development of new electrochemical systems as well as improving the life span and capacity of current types. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Rechargeable batteries. ^ "EU approves 3.2 billion euro state aid for battery research".

A rechargeable battery, storage battery, or secondary cell (formally a type of energy accumulator), is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. It is composed of one or more electrochemical cells. The term "accumulator" is us…
