20 times longer life for Li-ion batteries
Von laptop, 08:37A breakthrough in terms of duration, the researchers at Stanford University have succeeded. Late last year, they introduced a lithium-ion battery that runs ten times longer than conventional batteries. 20 hours notebook operation and would be more then possible. However, it is still unclear whether the new technology can also be produced in series. Too complicated, the process is still underway. Are the Dell Inspiron 6400 battery designed for electric cars and as temporary storage for solar systems.
Anode made of nanowires
Work with the new batteries in the form of silicon nanowires. The loading capacity of a lithium-ion battery is limited by how much lithium can absorb the anode of the DELL Studio 1537 battery during charging. In general, the anode is made of carbon. The researchers found that silicon has a much higher capacity than carbon. However, stretches the silicon from the lithium uptake. When discharging the battery is shrinking again, the silicon anode. This leads to a loss of capacity, want to avoid it. The researchers from Stanford have now incorporated in the form of silicon nanowires in the Dell Inspiron 1720 battery. Thus, the lithium ions can leak out better on and off. That in turn reduces the stretching and shrinking.
Flat as a piece of paper
For Apple, the company - which are known to want to make thinner laptops - could be another interesting development. Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the U.S. have developed a battery that resembles a piece of paper. The manufactured with nano-technology battery could make all new equipment designs are possible. The Dell Studio 1735 battery are designed for implantable medical devices. But even in vehicles or electronic devices, the batteries can be used.
The batteries are used at temperatures between 150 and minus 70 degrees Celsius. Of particular interest is that the batteries do not need more cover. They come into contact with liquid, they are unlike other batteries, totally insensitive. The HP Pavilion DV5 Battery are made from 90 percent cellulose. Hence the close down on paper. The paper is saturated with so-called Carbon Nano Tubes. These take the part of the electrodes. As an ionic liquid electrolyte is used, which contains mainly ions. It is important that the liquid contains no water. Therefore, the high temperature maxima - the battery can freeze nor can evaporate portions thereof. The energy can be delivered as a normal battery relatively uniform or a flash as in a capacitor.
Dream of mass production
One advantage of this development is the construction. The Dell Latitude E4300 battery can be, such as paper folding, rolling, and cutting. Overall capacity should be increased, only one more paper stacked one above the other batteries. Researchers dream of mass producing the batteries in as ordinary newsprint, since the individual components are relatively cheap. A production technology is not yet developed, but filed the patent.
