The high discharge rates required during takeoff by electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft could dramatically reduce battery cycle life unless cell chemistries are tailored to the application, according to researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee. The majority...
