In addition to speed, the team of researchers from Singapore ensures that the battery can run for 20 years. The team, headed by Professor Chen (center) shows examples of the batteries fabric Nanyang Technological University
A team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, has developed a lithium-ion battery that can recharge up to 70% a mobile phone in just two minutes and has a life span of over 20 years, ten times more than existing batteries with the same characteristics.
The university emphasizes fabric on its website that in addition to mobile devices, the new battery is likely to have a strong impact on electric cars, whose batteries can be charged in a few minutes.
Rechargeable lithium-ion battery has a small period of life, about two or three years if they are frequently used, and take a few hours to regain full capacity.
In its draft, the research team took the already existing on lithium-ion batteries and made some substitutions into its components. The graphite and an inorganic conductor of electricity used to create the anodes of lithium ion was replaced by a gel made from titanium dioxide, the same type of material that is used in sunscreen products to absorb ultraviolet rays .
According to the university, the team found a way to "turn fabric into tiny titanium dioxide nanotubes that are a thousand times thinner than the diameter of a human hair. This accelerates the chemical reactions that occur in the new battery, allowing a super-quick recharge ".
The battery is already licensed by a company that will eventually be made soon. Professor Chen Xiaodong and engineer, the Nanyang Technological University, estimates that the product reaches the market in the next two years.
In the market for mobile phones and tablets, fabric Chen emphasizes the potential that the battery will in the world of electric vehicles. "Electric cars will be able to increase capacity dramatically, with only five minutes of charging, the same time to supply the common cars with fuel," he argues.
