Developed a 70% rechargeable battery in just two minutes

Singapore scientists have created a new battery that lasts more than 20 years, and can be recharged by up to 70% in just two minutes, could become a breakthrough in battery technology.

The new, next-generation lithium-ion battery, is a groundbreaking invention that has far reaching implications for many industries, particularly for electric vehicles such as electric bicycles. and electric cars.

The new technology allows charging faster than the old technology 20 times. The new battery can withstand more than 10,000 charge cycles, 20 times more than the current 500 charge cycles of the battery, Science Daily reported.

Associate Professor Chen Xiaodong and associates from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have replaced traditional graphite materials used as anode, cathode in lithium-ion batteries into new material made of titanium dioxide, an abundant, cheap and safe raw material available in the soil.

The team has developed a simple method for converting titanium dioxide particles into tiny nanotubes. This nanostructure will speed up the chemical reaction that takes place in the new battery, allowing super-fast charging.

"With our nanotechnology, electric cars only take about 5 minutes to charge, just like the time it takes to pour gasoline into a car." More importantly, we can now cut costs. The battery is made up of ten times longer than lithium-ion batteries , " Chen said.

Chen hopes that the next generation of batteries will be available in the next two years. This product has a lot of potential to overcome the problem of time spent power in the mobile device.

The results are published in the journal Advanced Materials, a leading international scientific journal on materials science.
