Improved Lithium-Ion Batteries May Soon Be Available
Lithium-ion batteries are used in an array of consumer electronics, from laptops, smart phones, and even electric cars. While the current lithium-ion batteries are good, they will get better. The reason can be credited to researchers who have found a way to have the batteries store more energy.
According to a recent article in Science Daily, the anode is a critical component in these batteries. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Berkeley Lab have designed a new type of anode that can absorb eight times the lithium of current designs. Even more promising, it has maintained its greatly increased energy capacity after over a year of testing and countless charge-discharge cycles. And additional good news with it is that the new anodes are made from low-cost materials, compatible with current standard lithium-battery manufacturing technologies.
While the better batteries aren’t yet ready for your new electronics just yet, the emphasis on continual improvement to maintain high customer expectations in today’s technological world is exciting for manufacturers. Electronics have become an essential tool for the majority of consumers and businesses today, so seeing the continued emphasis on quality and longevity is good news.
