Reviving aging lithium batteries by injecting a shot of lithium ions to extend their lifespans by decades

https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202502/13/WS67adc96fa310c240449d515c.html

"extending lifespan from 6-8 years or 1,000-1,500 charge cycles to 10,000 cycles or more... injecting specially designed molecule into degraded batteries to replenish lost lithium ions... working on scaling up production and partnering with global battery manufacturers to commercialize. If successfully deployed, this innovation could significantly impact industries that are reliant on lithium batteries, from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, by reducing waste, cutting costs, and improving sustainability"
