Charge battery in seconds, hope for revolution in electric vehicles

The scientists charged in just a few seconds Battery What it claims to produce.

A South Korean team has made this breakthrough by developing next-generation sodium batteries, which Smart phones And Electric cars are cheaper and safer than traditional lithium-ion batteries used in

Sodium has 500 times the world’s reserves of lithium, while it also has a higher charge and performance capacity than lithium-ion batteries.

Prior to this development, sodium-ion batteries were produced and used on a limited rather than large scale due to their long charging times and lack of storage capacity.

However, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have been able to overcome these problems by developing a high-energy and high-power sodium-ion battery capable of fast charging.

They did this by combining common materials used in batteries, suitable for supercapacitors, and used in everything from regenerative braking systems in electric cars to adjusting the pitch of wind turbine rotor blades. are found in the thing.

The new battery exceeds the energy density of commercial lithium-ion batteries and can be used in both electric vehicles and consumer electronics.

Professor Jeong Kuo Kang from KAIST’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, who led the research, said: ‘The hybrid sodium-ion energy storage device is a tool that can be used for fast charging and 247 watt-hours. has an energy density of 34,748 watts per kilogram and is capable of achieving an energy density of up to 34,748 watts per kilogram.’

“This is a significant breakthrough in overcoming the current limitations of energy storage systems,” he added.

They expect it to be used in a wider range of applications and various electronic devices.

This research is titled ‘Low-crystallinity conductive multivalence iron sulfide-embedded S-doped anode and high-surface area O-doped cathode of 3D porous N-rich graphitic carbon frameworks for high-performance sodium-ion hybrid energy storages’. Published in the journal Storage Materials’.

The breakthrough comes just weeks following a team of researchers in Japan discovered a new process to mass-produce solid sodium batteries.

The new technology might potentially eliminate these issues by significantly improving the charging capacity of electric car batteries and doubling the range of existing EVs.
