Lithium-ion batteries charge three times faster -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
New technology could triple lithium-ion battery charging speed
The University of Tokyo's School of Engineering and Japan's National Institute for Materials Science have developed a new technique that can charge lithium-ion batteries twice as fast.
As we all know, lithium-ion battery is a battery technology with high energy density and low discharge rate. Although lithium-ion batteries are an important source of power for most electronic and digital products on the market, the principles by which they rely on the basic chemical reactions of electrolytes have not changed in nearly two decades. A new study from Japan looks set to end the long process of powering lithium-ion batteries through electrolytes.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
According to a new joint study by the University of Tokyo's School of Engineering and Japan's National Institute of Materials Science, they have discovered a new electrolyte that enables lithium-ion batteries to be super responsive and resistant to degradation, a new technology, with further development, may improve their overall performance.
In general, the high concentration of the electrolyte and resistance to degradation determine the final concentration of the electrolyte. However, Japanese researchers have found that adding a mixed solvent dominated by ethyl carbonate can make the electrolyte four times stronger than current lithium-ion batteries.
New hybrid solutions could allow lithium-ion batteries to charge faster and deliver more power per hour. Specifically, the new research can increase the charging time of lithium-ion batteries by 300% compared to the current one, and basically maintain the rated voltage of lithium-ion batteries of 3v~5v.
While this new lithium-ion battery technology could mean that our phones and tablets will charge much faster in the future, the real purpose of this research is to focus on electric vehicles. If the charging speed can be increased by more than 3 times, it will solve the problem of excessive charging time. Of course, there is room for this new battery technology to continue to develop in the future, and it may have an important impact on lithium-ion batteries, which have not been significantly improved for a long time.
