New batteries allow wearable equipment to last up to 10 years

The battery life of electronic devices has been a major problem affecting the use of experience, from smartphones to popular wearable devices. Obviously, you won't buy a smart watch that's charged every day, so researchers are actively developing new types of batteries to fundamentally address this problem. According to the latest research results, the use of lithium fluoride carbon (CFx) of the new battery, is expected to provide wearable equipment up to 10 years of battery life, and do not need to charge. The prototype lithium fluoride battery was first tested by researchers at the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and published last week in the American Chemical Society. The battery may be of only a coin size and is ideal for use with wearable devices, such as smart watches, wrist bands, and can continue to power for up to 10 years or more. Non-rechargeable battery batteries are not rechargeable, but are disposable, but can last a very long time, said Chengdu Liang, a research and development officer for lithium fluoride-carbon batteries. In general, wearable devices do not carry a very strong processor, there is no large burst of energy requirements, so the new battery is very suitable for sensors, pacemakers and other small devices, which is why lithium fluoride batteries do not need to recharge the reason. It is reported that some commercial battery companies have shown full interest in lithium fluoride carbon batteries, is expected to achieve mass production within a few years. Of course, security is the user's concern. The current mainstream lithium batteries, basically can not be used for too long, including Sony, Lenovo and other mainstream notebook computer manufacturers, almost all of the notebook lithium battery overheating caused by overheating or even the ignition time, in the mobile phone industry is also common, so can use 10 years of new batteries can guarantee security? New batteries, such as lithium-air and zinc-air, are also being developed, according to research, which use more stable materials to replace lithium ions and solve the problem of expensive materials such as silver. In addition, the fuel battery is also catching up, is expected to achieve more long-term stability of the power supply effect. To be sure, non rechargeable batteries, like lithium fluoride, are not the only ones that have ultra-high battery characteristics that can be used for several years at a time, so they do not require recharging and have better stability and are expected to become mainstream in the future. A major breakthrough in battery technology according to the U.S. Army's existing research shows that lithium fluoride batteries are currently known to have the highest energy theory of the type, compared to traditional lithium battery is a major breakthrough. In the experiment, researchers at Oak Ridge's National Laboratory have successfully used solid-state electrolytes to increase the capacity of lithium fluoride-carbon batteries, and to achieve the potential for excess electricity. In addition, not only can the electrolyte work itself, but it can also store energy in the electrolyte, a dual-functional electrolyte that contributes to the design of a new physical battery. The only problem now is cost. Researchers are temporarily unable to assess the cost of each battery after mass production because in the lab environment the test is not actually costing. If the cost problem can be solved, it is obvious that the future miniaturization of electricitySub-products will have an ultra long battery life, and no charge, which is conducive to the current wearable equipment endurance.
