Nano Sponge Lithium Ion Battery A Revelation

December 19, 2018/in In the News/by Gray Leigh

Nano Sponge Lithium Ion Battery Improves Performance

Dutch organization RGS has made a major breakthrough. The discovery will rapidly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Called E-magy, a nano sponge lithium ion battery reduces charge-cycle swelling. Consequently, battery power and efficiency are greatly improved. Ultimately, storage capacity is increased by 50%. This allows vehicles to travel 500km without a single charge.

Meanwhile, the industry’s highest-performing vehicles travel just 300km on one charge. Electric vehicle manufacturers constantly look for ways to make lighter, more efficient batteries. Unfortunately, lithium-ion batteries typically last only 1,300 cycles. Granted, this wildly outperforms traditional alkaline batteries.

Increasing Battery Lifespan

With the nano sponge lithium ion battery, exterior anodes don’t swell. Instead, the sponge-lining absorbs the liquid flow of lithium-ions. Hopefully, manufacturers are quickly able to adopt this technology. Its inclusion in consumer electronics and electric vehicles is highly anticipated.

Meanwhile, solid-state batteries are expected to rid consumers of safety concerns. However, they’re not expected to hit the market for another ten years. In the meantime, nano sponge technology could help accelerate battery performance.

Another Step Forward for Clean Energy Tech

Such a technological breakthrough is evidence of an unstoppable clean energy wave. Lithium ion batteries will soon replace combustible engines as global transport’s most popular energy source.

Consequently, the environment isn’t the only entity to benefit. So will the average consumer, who will benefit from cheap, efficient vehicles that outperform conventional vehicles.
