Lithium nickel oxide, a promising material for next-gen, longer-lasting batteries, keeps failing during charging. Now a UTD team says it's found a fix to make it viable for commercial use. The researchers plan to manufacture test batteries in their robotics lab before seeking industry partners to take them to market.
