Japanese researchers have developed a method to batteries based on lithium-ion technology to make those with a fixed electrolyte work. The batteries would just as well function as instances with a liquid electrolyte.
Virtually all lithium-ion batteries on the market make use of two electrodes joined by a liquid electrolyte, thus the lithium ion can move. During the use to migrate the lithium ion from one to the other electrode, a process during charging is reversed. To a good mobility of the ions, ensuring the electrolyte liquid, but that has disadvantages as lekgevoeligheid.
A group of researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology and several research institutes has a fixed alternative was developed. They made use of a crystalline structure of sulfur, phosphorus, germanium and lithium, the mobility of ions, makes it possible, but not liquid. This superionische guide as to the researchers, the material described, it would be ions like a ” wet ” electrolytes can conduct electricity. That should lead to easier manufacturable, cheaper and safer batteries.
