After Japan, China has just recognized the major advance of Moroccan researcher Rachid Yazami by granting him a patent for his ultra-rapid lithium battery charging technology. This innovation is based on a new method, called “non-linear voltage”and could well shake up the battery sector, particularly in the electric automobile industry.
The classic approach, which is based on the management of tension, is today reaching its limits. Rachid Yazami proposes a different solution: optimize the circulation of electric current at the heart of the batteries. Result ? A full recharge at 100% in just 15 minutescompared to more than 30 minutes to reach a level of 80% with traditional methods. During recent tests, his team, based in Singapore, even achieved a feat: recharging a battery in just five minutes.
Rachid Yazami, based in Singapore, is a pioneer in the field of lithium batteries. With an international career marked by studies in Japan and the United States, he has been able to combine cutting-edge research and the quest for sustainable solutions. The recognition of his patent by China confirms the global importance of his work and the central role it could play in the future of renewable energies.

But Yazami doesn’t stop there. Aware of the limits linked to lithium extraction, he is already exploring other avenues. At Yan Yang University in Singapore, he leads research into fluorine, a more abundant, less expensive and more environmentally friendly material to extract. Such an alternative could pave the way for batteries that are more environmentally friendly and better adapted to the challenges of tomorrow.
This innovation comes at the right time. In a context where fast charging remains one of the main obstacles to the mass adoption of electric cars, the technology developed by Yazami offers a concrete solution. With such short charging times, electric vehicles could soon rival combustion engine cars in terms of practicality, facilitating the transition to greener mobility.
Rachid Yazami, thanks to his international patents and his avant-garde vision, confirms his place among the major players in the global energy revolution. Its work is not limited to improving today’s daily life: it lays the foundations for sustainable innovation, ready to meet the needs of future generations.
