Researchers found a novel electrolyte solution in electric aircraft batteries using omics techniques, increasing cycle life four-fold.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of Michigan discovered a novel electrolyte solution in electric aircraft batteries using omics techniques, leading to a four-fold increase in cycle life. The study found that certain salts mixed into the electrolyte form a protective coating on cathode particles, enhancing battery life and making electric flight more sustainable.
