Find out how to make 'super battery' charging a few seconds, use the whole week

Researchers have come up with a new way to create "super batteries," which can change the way we charge things from phones to cars. The super-battery will allow the device to charge very fast but with enough power for the week.

A team of researchers from the University of Central Florida's Center for Nanotechnology (UCF), a new supercapacitor or supercapacitor, is characterized by its softness. In particular, it can store more power and can be recharged more than 30,000 times without deterioration.

Meanwhile, conventional lithium-ion batteries can only be recharged less than 1,500 times without serious deterioration.

"If you replace the current batteries with this type of super capacitor, you can charge your cell phone for a few seconds and no need to recharge the device again for a week," said Nitin Choudhary, a member of the group. study, said.

Super-thin, flexible, fully charged battery for a few seconds, but enough power for a week.

The method of creating these supercapacitors can ultimately create a revolutionary way in the field of mobile and electric vehicles.

According to the research report, the authors have looked at the use of nanomaterials to improve supercapacitors capable of enhancing or even completely replacing batteries in electrical appliances today. But they found that a supercapacitor like lithium-ion batteries could have a much larger size.

The team tested the application of new 2D materials , with only a few atoms thick to make supercapacitors. Other researchers have also attempted to create supercapacitors using graphene and other 2D materials, but with little success.

Choudhary's team has developed superconducting superconductors consisting of millions of metal rods a few nanometers thick (1 nanometer = 1 millimeter), coated with a new 2D material. The ultra-fine conductive core supports fast electron transmission for fast charging and discharging. A uniform 2D coating creates high power and power density.

Historically, 2D materials have promised more energy-saving applications. However, before the UCF researchers invented the process of integrating these materials, there was no way to exploit them.
