What it is

Professor Jeff Dahn lectures on why lithium-ion batteries die and how chemistry changes could make them last decades.

HN recommends it as a detailed look at battery degradation, in threads on EV and grid storage lifetimes.

“This lecture (1h, 13m) goes into it in detail, including how it can be prevented, ways of testing, and more”
