Ten-minute fast charging enables downsizing of EV batteries for both affordability and sustainability, without causing range anxiety. However, fast charging of energy-dense batteries (more than 250 Wh kg −1 or higher than 4 mAh cm −2) remains a great challenge 3, 4.
Fast-charging lithium batteries have generated significant interest among researchers due to the rapid advancement of electronic devices and vehicles. It is imperative to maintain stable and swift battery charging while preserving acceptable reversible capacity.
In the field of energy chemistry, advancements in fast charging can drive deeper research into the fundamental electrochemical processes, leading to a better understanding of ion transport, electrode reactions, and degradation mechanisms. These insights can also lend support to the R&D efforts of post-LIB battery systems.
Therefore, to increase the EV's ability to fast charge on a timescale comparable to refueling gasoline cars, in 2017, the US Department of Energy defined extreme fast charging (XFC), aiming to charge 80% battery capacity within 10 minutes or at 400 kW. Raising the charging speed of LIBs relies on materials chemistry innovations.
Despite achieving energy densities up to 300 Wh/kg, cycle lives exceeding 2000 cycles, and fast-charging capabilities, lithium-ion batteries face significant challenges, including safety risks,
