Researchers have redesigned carbon molecules in batteries, creating a covalently bridged fullerene framework that stores lithium more safely and stably. The innovation could enable faster charging, higher energy density, and longer-lasting batteries, benefiting electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable-energy storage.
