Scientists in Singapore say they have developed an advanced lithium
In addition to charging faster, ion batteries with longer life.
Their batteries can apparently be charged 10,000 times-which means it lasts for more than 20 years compared to the traditional ones that are currently around two to three years old.

At present, it takes more than 4 hours for these vehicles to charge, and the battery life is limited.
Chen Xiaodong said: "Electric vehicles can greatly increase their mileage by only five minutes of charging, which is consistent with the time required for refueling . " Associate Professor, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanda, Singapore-

Scientists have replaced conventional graphite for battery sanode (negative pole)
Use a new gel material made of titaniumdioxide-something found in the soil and commonly used as a food additive or sunscreen to absorb ultraviolet rays.
According to the scientific Daily, its nano-structure helps speed up the chemical reaction that allows for ultra-high-speed charging.
"It is very easy to make this new nano tube gel," added Professor Chen . ".
"Titanium dioxide and sodium hydrogen are mixed together and stirred at a certain temperature.
The battery maker found it easy to integrate our new gelinto into their current production process.

Professor Chen said that the inventor of the lithium graphite anode developed 34 years ago is the next major improvement in battery technology.
"And the cost of lithium --
Since sonybatteries commercialized ion batteries in 1991, ion batteries have been significantly reduced and performance has improved, and the market is rapidly expanding to adapt to new applications in the field of electric mobility and energy storage.
The research team plans to build a large
But the patented technology has attracted interest in industry, which Professor Chen believes is fast.
The rechargeable battery will be available in two years.
Ustry and Professor Chen believe fast-charging batteries will be available in two years.
