Nothing is more irritating than your phone running out of battery when you need it most.
Now, scientists at Harvard have developed a battery that can store energy in liquid solutions for more than ten years.
Not only is it super efficient, but this amazing battery is not corrosive or toxic.
The new mobile battery was developed by researchers at Harvard University John.
Paulson College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).
By storing energy in organic molecules dissolved in neutral pH water, these batteries can maintain capacity for ten years or more
This means that the tablet battery may have become the past.
Not only is this not-
The life of the corrosive battery is very long, but it is also very cheap to produce.
Unlike lithium batteries, these chemicals are safe, which means there is no need for expensive extras such as corrosiveness-
Pump and tank resistant.
At present, the efficiency problem of the mobile battery is very serious, and it will wear seriously when used frequently.
However, by modifying the solution, researchers can make a battery that loses only its capacity per 1,000 cycles.
From this point of view, a standard lithium
The ion battery can only last 1,000 cycles during its service life.
Dr. Michael Aziz, professor of materials and energy technology at Harvard University, said lithium-ion batteries could not even survive 1000 full charge/discharge cycles.
If you can get close to this cost target, then you can change the world, Dr. Aziz said.
Put the battery in so many places and it becomes a scratch.
He said the study has brought us one step closer to achieving this goal.
The group uses a water-soluble ferrocenyl, a molecule that is conducive to the storage of charge and natural insoluble properties.
Water-soluble iron represents a new class of molecules in mobile batteries, Dr. Aziz said.
By changing the molecules in the electrolyte, scientists have stabilized these mobile batteries, water.
Easy to dissolve, not easy to degrade.
Since it is not corrosive, the battery leak does not cause the same damage as lithiumbased ones.
Although these batteries have been developed, there is no plan for commercial sales.

A goal has been set to build a battery to compete with wind and solar.
Imre Gyuk said that this work on water-soluble organic electrolyte is of great significance for indicating the road for future batteries, as it greatly increases cycle life and costs, Energy Storage Research Director, Energy Department Power office.
I expect that as part of the grid infrastructure, efficient, long-lasting mobile batteries will be the standard.
Researchers are now trying to expand the technology into industrial applications.
