China's Breakthrough Lithium Battery Could Double EV Range To 600+ Miles, Survive -94°F Temp Authored by Bojan Stojkovski via Interesting Engineering, A team of researchers in China has unveiled an all-weather electrolyte designed to boost the performance of lithium batteries across a wide range of conditions. Scientists based in Shanghai and Tianjin report that batteries built with the new hydrofluorocarbon-based electrolyte delivered more than twice the energy density of conventional designs when tested at room temperature.  Fluorine-based electrolyte could improve EV and drone battery efficiency. Beyond efficiency gains, the team says the chemistry...
