Norway's rechargeable lithium battery has a breakthrough -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
Researchers at Norway's Ministry of Energy Technology (IFE) announced in Keeler that they have found the perfect way to replace the graphite commonly used in lithium-ion batteries with silicon.
The story we heard before was that South Korea's Hyundai invested in IonicMaterials, a solid-state battery company in the United States. Today, we have news about the future, just released from the forefront of the battery field. Researchers at Norway's Ministry of Energy Technology (IFE) announced in Keeler that they have found the perfect way to replace the graphite commonly used in lithium-ion batteries with silicon.
According to the researchers, the discovery could easily allow electric vehicles to travel more than 600 miles. "You could say we've found that unknown element, and there's a huge potential here. It's something that scientists all over the world are trying to create," said Arve Holt, research director at IFE, in a report published in BergensTidende.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
Pure silicon has ten times the capacity of graphite, but loses energy faster than graphite. Researchers have found a way to mix silicon and other elements to create a stable and long-lasting anode with a capacity three to five times higher than conventional graphite anodes. Laura Brodbeck of Kjeller Innovation Studio is working on commercializing the technology. She said the new technology is being sent to material makers and battery makers for testing to see if it can be successfully commercialized.
"To reach consumers effectively, new materials and battery technologies must be able to be manufactured in large-scale industrial production. This is what we and our partners are working towards." Brodbeck said, but she declined to say who is participating in the test. Which companies. She also affirmed that Norwegian companies were as interested in the project as companies from other countries. "Kjeller Innovation Studio and IFE are actively collaborating to industrialize this technology as soon as possible, and our goal is to work with more participants to promote this technology."
"We have tested it in the laboratory environment, and the effect is very good. Now we have also received support from the FORNY2020 project of the Research Council, and we will test with our international counterparts to witness the industrialization process of this technology. Our The project will focus on bringing new materials to the market. We named the project 'SiliconX' and it will also be an exciting endeavor, especially working with Kjeller Innovation Studio on such a big goal." Marte O. Stake, a researcher at .
Professor Ann Mari Svensson of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Department of Materials Technology found the study's results interesting, but expressed some concern. "They have achieved perfect results, but when it comes to the industrialization of this kind of research, the cost is the key. It is possible to make a better product than the battery on the market, but it is possible that the cost will get out of control and lead to fundamental No one pays."
Either way, stories like this are exciting. But we're a long way from being able to buy these batteries at our local AutoZone store, I'm afraid. But you can almost feel that the speed of development of battery technology is accelerating every moment now. We do live in interesting times!
