Korean Team Aligns Battery Separators
3 min read
A Korean team led by professors Dong Ki Yoon and Hye Ryung Byon published research in ACS Nano describing a vertically aligned liquid-crystalline polymer separator. This design reduces ion transport tortuosity by 2.5-fold, suppressing dendrites. Testing showed the battery retained 94% capacity after 100 cycles at a 4C charging rate, promising faster charging for electric vehicles and smartphones.
