Researchers develop batteries can be recharged in a few seconds

At the University of Illinois, researchers succeeded in developing a dreidimenisionale nanostructure. This allows significantly faster charging batteries.

Developed by researchers at Paul Brown batteries not differ externally from burlap and batteries. The difference lies in the cathode used for the three-dimensional nanostructure. This makes it possible, a HP Pavilion dv6000 Battery for a mobile phone in a few seconds and a notebook battery in a few minutes to reload.

Normally, a conventional battery is aging much faster if you increase the amperage for charging. These DELL XPS M1530 battery behave like capacitors, however, with the storage capacity of batteries. The researchers have achieved by having transformed the active storage material into a thin film with a three-dimensional structure. This makes it possible for these batteries in a very short time, then recharge a few seconds to minutes and to discharge again. The highlight: The HP Pavilion DV5 Battery does not suffer from the fact that life should be as high as current batteries. The researchers demonstrated at 10 to 100 charge cycles.

With diesr technology can build phones that are fully recharged in a few seconds, it takes a little longer for laptops but also just a few minutes. Interestingly, this technique is also suitable for applications where high currents are always needed, such as defibrillators. The technique would certainly also in other areas most welcome, just think of DELL Studio 1537 battery or electric toothbrushes, for example.

Brown also sees great potential in electric cars, because there is still plenty of time necessary to recharge the Dell Inspiron 1501 battery again, usually 8-12 hours. If suddenly the batteries within a quarter of an hour were back fully loaded, it could help the electric car to the final break.

The processes that were used for the invention are in the industry today is already widespread, so it would integrate without much effort to be the technology into existing systems. The results of the research was on 20 March in Nature Nanotechnology Magazine published. Sun is also promising, this message, the whole has a great hook. 2009 Researchers at MIT have developed a very similar technique that builds on existing technology and could be easily accommodated in a short time to market.

Since then again past two years without so much as a single handset manufacturers have integrated this technology into their devices. Really understand, because a mobile phone that can recharge in 10 seconds, would actually be a compelling selling point and could provide the first integrated manufacturer of the technology a significant market advantage.

Hope that such innovations will finally reach the market and not more than a good idea once again disappear in the drawer.
