- KAIST-Kyonggi University joint research team developed
composite catalyst out of nano fiber and graphene –
- Five times improvement in capacity compared to lithium-ion
secondary battery, driving 800 km at maximum –
Will the day come to travel Seoul-Busan with an electronic
vehicle? The core technology for lithium air secondary battery, the next
generation high capacity battery, has been finally developed.
A research team formed by KAIST Department of Materials
Science’s Professors Il-Doo Kim and Seokwoo Jeon, and Kyonggi University
Department of Materials Science’s Professor Yong Joon Park has created a
‘lithium air secondary battery,’ with five times greater storage than the
lithium-ion secondary battery, by developing a nano fiber-graphene composite
catalyst. The research results are published in Aug. 8th online edition of Nano
Letters, an academic journal of authority in the nano fields.
