Millions of laptops and phones get power from Rechargeable Lithiumion batteries.
The battery, in a compact and lightweight package, can drive cars of the future.
However, current batteries require expensive control circuitry to prevent fire or explosion from being caused by their highly reactive components.
Since larger batteries will contain more of this active substance, they pose a greater risk.
Many research groups are working to improve the safety and power of lithium
By changing the internal conductive fluid or electrolyte and electrode of the battery, the ion battery (SN: 2/12/00, p. 103: ).
Now, a team has proposed a new material Series for the negative pole of the battery.
The conventional anode is made of graphite or carbon sheet.
