First, some context on why batteries degrade.
Over time, this, along with electrode degradation and electrolyte breakdown, reduces the battery’s capacity.
The usual solution is to replace the battery.
There are a few caveats here, though.
For one, the re-lithiation process requires specially designed batteries that allow pumping in the lithium slurry.
This requires additional space and increases complexity compared to a standard sealed unit.
The complete findings can befoundin the scientific journal Nature.
