MIT scientists have developed a revolutionary cell phone battery that can be recharged in just 10 seconds.
New batteries are 100 times times more charged than conventional batteries, scientists say, and can be used on mobile phones, laptops, ipods, digital cameras and cameras in 2-3 years. In addition, the same technology can greatly shorten the charging time of electric vehicles, can be compared with the traditional car refueling time, and then to remove the green car faces a major obstacle.
The battery charges or discharges slowly because lithium ions flow from one electrode to another takes a certain amount of time. The researchers improved the traditional electrode surface structure made of lithium iron phosphate, which increased the release and inhalation speed of lithium ions by 100 times times. The new battery material does not age with repeated charges and discharges. It can be used for 2 years to 3 years in a row. The image above is a new cell phone battery material.
