To date, the term of “battery” is often used for the electronic equipment. Battery substitutes the use of electricity for some devices.
What pops up in your mind when I say that nowadays, we can find battery for car? Is that possible?
Certainly it is. The nanoball battery has been developed to be used for car, exactly the next generation of plug-in hybrid cars. Forget lithium battery for its uneffective works. You know, Lithium ion cells need so many time to recharge.
But now, researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has revealed an experimental battery that charges about 100 times as fast as normal lithium ion batteries. It was reported in NewScientist that this battery contains a cathode made up of tiny balls of lithium iron phosphate, each just 50 nanometres across. The balls quickly release lithium ions as the battery charges, which travel across an electrolyte towards the anode. As the battery discharges, the lithium ions move back across the cell to be re-absorbed by the nanoballs.
Impressive, isn’t it?
