MIT Develops Charge In Second Counts

It was not his day we fill or charge the battery up to hourly. Why? Because MIT has developed a new battery technology that allows small and lightweight batteries that can be used for cellphones and other mobile devices that can be filled in seconds, rather than an hourly again.

MIT says that engineers-engineers have been using the existing battery material and change it to make a "beltway" that allows transfer of electrical energy very quickly.

This technology can also be applied to mobile batteries quickly filled, but the time required depends on the electric grid from the user.

This new technology, together with lithium batteries, rechargeable commonly used, will be available in the market in two or three years into the future.

Although lithium batteries have greater energy density, but slow to charge and discharge process. MIT says that the lithium ions in the material will move faster when closer to the tunnel, whereas those near the tunnel is blocked.

Besarta MIT Professor of MIT students solve this problem by creating a new surface structure which allows the lithium ions move outside of the material so that when it reaches the tunnel ions will be diverted into it. This is necessary because the key to faster charge process is to make the ions move through a tunnel that can be accessed via the surface of the material.

Besides making a charge and discharge process will be happening in just 10-20 seconds, this technology also allows the reduction of the size and weight because the material is more durable.
