IBM designed battery for electric vehicles running 800km

New Scientist magazine has published an impressive new development and development of IBM's battery technology, providing enough power for electric cars to operate for up to 500 miles (800 km) with only one charge.

One of the biggest limitations of electric vehicles (EVs) is the concern about their scope and ability to get users to their final destination. Researchers from IBM have focused on addressing this range of limits with a pioneering battery technology that extends the travel distance up to 500 miles, Electric cars are back to the race with most fuel-efficient cars today.

At present, electric cars use lithium-ion batteries, which are usually quite heavy and only reach 100 miles (160km) before the next charge. IBM made the change by refining the new lithium-air batteries, providing higher density ratios than virtually all existing rechargeable batteries.

Very heavy lithium-ion batteries, which provide low power and high power requirements (depending on their weight). Meanwhile, lithium-air batteries are lighter, helping to reduce weight and provide more energy when traveling.

However, the new battery technology still has its shortcomings. Lithium-ion batteries are more stable than unstable chemical components in lithium-air batteries.

According to IBM and physicists in Switzerland, taking advantage of the Blue Gene supercomputer, promises to have a stabilized solution. If the project goes well in this direction, IBM expects to have a full prototype by 2013, but by 2020 it will be commercialized.

There is still a long way to go, but if it succeeds, the new battery technology will create a revolution in electric cars in the future, saving fuel and fuel can eliminate the car. use this fuel.
