How do these New Rechargeable Batteries Work?
Lithium ion batteries are a simple means of moving lithium ions between electrodes to create a form of electricity. In general, the time it takes a lithium battery to charge is limited by how fast the electrons and ions can move between these electrodes, which up until now has been a pretty sluggish process. However, by reshaping the external surfaces of the lithium ions and using various additives on its surface, one can create a somewhat perfect-sized tunnel for the ions to blast through, creating what would be considered by today's standards, a ridiculously fast rate of charge.
