Battery Technology for the Future by Antonio Patrick - HTML preview

Closing Statement

Breakthroughs that would allow our spec table smartphones to last for days, our cars to drive 500 miles in a charge, and our houses to store enough energy.

Derived from solar panels or other sources to last days on end without resorting to the grid.

The closest to maturity cheapest and easiest to achieve of the next gen battery technologies it offers current lithium-ion batteries and requires.

Cheaper production materials rapid deterioration was a problem but researchers have now achieved more than 2000 - charge cycles.

With degradation on par with the best - lithium-ion units probably the biggest advantage of lithium sulfur.

However is that, it can practice superior density into a much smaller and lighter battery pack which bodes well.

For our ever thinning smartphones moreover it is also more durable than the lithium ion models.

Using microscopic for silicon spheres, for the anil usc, researchers managed to achieve fast and release on the chip the result three times more storage.

Than the conventional battery in your smartphone and 10  minute  charging times once the charge discharge cycles numbers.

Increased the technology will be good to go into batteries.

Gives way to magnesium we can expect eight to 12 times higher energy density than a lithium battery and five times higher charge discharge efficiency.

This is because the magnesium ions in the electrolyte carry a double positive charge elevating the overall energy density amount.

There's two obstacles to be overcome but plenty of research is heading in that direction.

With pretty encouraging results already enough with the swanky battery material breakthroughs.

How about the good old oxygen we breathe ibm in collaboration with researchers government labs and industry leaders.

Who's working on project 500 a lithium air battery undertaking that is supposed to give electric cars.

As much range as a typical gas tank and since lithium air batteries are suitable for any application.

Where weight is important, phones are a perfect candidate this one is too far out in the future.

But recent developments have made it viable again besides increasing energy density and decreasing charging times.

New materials can also optimized mobile batteries form to feeling everywhere while looking on the inside of our ever thinning smartphones with juicing capacity both.
