NTU batteries charge '70% in 2 minutes'

clap clap... I think they probably figured it out already, else no need to publish.

“However, there is still room for improvement and one such key area is the power density – how much power can be stored in a certain amount of space – which directly relates to the fast charge ability. Ideally, the charge time for batteries in electric vehicles should be less than 15 minutes, which Prof Chen’s nanostructured anode has proven to do so.”

You could be right you know but I remained skeptical. The main thrust of the article is about how fast it takes to charge. Titanate batteries are well known for that. However, the article failed to mention how dense the battery is going to be. Taken together, I'm not sure whether the journalist understands the challenge of the titanate battery.

From invention to large scale commercial production today may take 10 year to happen. like the well known blue LED invented at around 1990, and turn to commercial production around late 1990s. Today is producing in very big scale.

If this NTU invention makes commercial sense, we will probably see it within some years, but most of this kind of invention from university will finally proven to be not making sense commercially.
