    China's Thermal Battery Breakthrough Could Transform Energy

    Chinese researchers have developed a novel cathode material to combat the "shuttle effect," a key degradation problem that has limited the lifespan and efficiency of thermal batteries. This new approach actively enhances battery performance by increasing energy density and reducing capacity loss,...
