Can electric vehicles charge quickly without sacrificing battery longevity? A KAIST research team has identified a potential solution using a three-dimensional digital twin—a virtual model that recreates the internal microstructure of a real battery electrode. In their work published in the journal InfoMat, the team found that fast-charging performance and degradation behavior are influenced not only by the amounts of materials and pore space within the electrode, but also by how they are distributed.
