The one problem with widget is power . Even if batteries start off long - last , after 12 month they start to shin . But a new material might change that .
A squad of investigator from Stanford have develop a unexampled battery electrode that can subsist 40,000 charge cycles . That ’s about a hundred meter more than a normal Lithium - Ion shelling , and enough to make it usable for somewhere between 10 - 30 long time .
So how does it work ? It ’s down to what it ’s made from : pig hexacyanoferrate . The structure of the material Lashkar-e-Taiba charge - dribble ion move in and out of the electrode easily , and it ’s extremely rugged , so it degrades at a much deadening rate than Li - On assault and battery . That all means it can buck and discharge chop-chop , and lasts for age . Great !
One midget snag , however . A high-pitched - voltage cathode needs a very miserable - voltage anode . And , err , they have n’t deal to make that part yet , so presently it ’s not possible to make a sealed unit that would be suitable for commercial-grade use . Still , that ’s next on the tilt for the squad . Hurry up , cat . [ Nature CommunicationsviaeWeek EuropeviaSlashdot ; persona : Jami3.org ]
