This really sounds unbelievable but it's quite true.
Charging your phone battery can be inconvenient and
take awhile , but what if you could get a proper power
refueling in just a few minutes?
Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University in
Singapore say they developed a lithium-ion battery
that can go from zero to 70% power capacity in two
minutes. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in
phones and tablets.
Perhaps even more importantly, the battery lasts much
longer than the ones we have now, an attribute that
could boost the electric car industry, developers said.
The new battery is supposed to last for 10,000 cycles, a
lifespan estimated at two decades and more than 10
times longer than what we're used to.
In contrast, Apple says its phone batteries are designed
to "retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500
complete charge cycles." Generally, the more you
recharge a battery, the more it loses its luster over time.
The breakthrough here is with the battery's anode or
negative pole, which traditionally works with
graphite. The graphite is replaced with a newly
developed gel made from an "abundant, cheap and
safe" material called titanium dioxide that's found in
soil. It's also an active ingredient in sunscreen .
The researchers were able to morph the spherically-
shaped titanium dioxide into tubular strands that
are 1,000-times thinner than a human hair. The gel
speeds up reactions taking place inside the new
battery, propelling the hyper-fast recharging.
The researchers think the battery's most important
impact will be on the electric car industry . Potential
adopters can be turned off by the long recharge times
and shorter battery lifespans for electric vehicles.
With this battery, however, recharging your car —
timewise — wouldn't be so far off from filling up a
tank a gas. It should take about five minutes to give
you enough power to get back on the road and 15
minutes for a full charge, the researchers said in a
statement .
Replacement batteries for electric cars are costly , too,
with some priced at more than $5,000. Another benefit
is that it would cut down on waste resulting from
battery disposals.
When talking about "breakthroughs" for battery
technology, expectations can be very high. Don't treat
this as consumer reality just yet, but it's good to know
that scientists are trying to make batteries more
efficient.
Developers expect the new batteries to hit the market in
the next two years.
