Researchers at Adelaide University have discovered a promising new strategy which could deliver fast battery charging. The team, led by Professor Shi-Zhang Qiao, an ARC Industry Laureate Fellow in the University’s School of Chemical Engineering, created pouch battery cells using interfacial anion-reduction catalysis to record a charge of more than 85 per cent after six minutes.
