AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

But this overcharging process is more expensive to implement and results in cathode materials with limited long-term stability and reduced charge / discharge rate capabilities
Therefore, overcharging causes oxygen evolution and poses a potential safety risk, and increases the cost and complexity of battery manufacturing
