Lithium battery produced by 3D printing technology -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
3D printing technology can produce lithium-ion batteries of any structure
3D-printed lithium-ion batteries can be made into any structure, the team wrote in the study.
According to foreign media reports, a research team from the University of Texas and Duke University used 3D printing technology to create an LED bracelet with a built-in lithium-ion battery and self-dimming liquid crystal sunglasses.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
3D-printed lithium-ion batteries can be fabricated into any structure, which could not only supply custom batteries for specific product designs, but also improve the application of battery structures, the team wrote in the study.
The researchers used a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer in their experiments. An important challenge at the moment is to improve the ionic conductivity of the printed polymers for use in fuses (ionic conductivity, where the researchers immerse the fibers in an electrolyte, an electrolyte solution), overcoming technical difficulties, the researchers said.
In addition, they added graphene with walled carbon nanotubes (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) to the cathode and anode of the device, and they tested the technique first using coin cells (coin cells), then bracelets and sunglasses.
The battery on the LED bracelet can only supply 60 seconds of light, and although it is not yet commercially viable, the researchers plan to increase the battery capacity. Future use of 3D printed clay to replace fuses.
Dr. Christopher Reyes, who led the research, studied electrical engineering but turned to chemistry, and has an extensive knowledge of scientific research. Reyes, who is currently with Duke University's Department of Chemistry, has published multiple papers on electronics and 3D printing for driverless cars. Reyes hopes to find new materials and manufacturing techniques to reduce the cost of devices such as solar cells and touchscreens.
