An ultra-thin nanomaterial is at the heart of a major breakthrough by Waterloo scientists who are in a global race to invent a cheaper, lighter and more powerful rechargeable battery for electric vehicles.
Chemistry Professor Linda Nazar and her research team have discovered that a nanosheet of manganese dioxide can be used in a lithium-sulphur (Li-S) battery to dramatically boost its performance. The low-cost Li-S battery can theoretically power an electric car three times further than current lithium-ion batteries for the same weight.
