Japan developed a new type of lithium battery, which can be used by 70 years

Today's lithium batteries have a maximum life of about 10 years. Sharp and professor of Kyoto University have developed a lithium-ion battery that can last up to 70 years. The long-lived lithium ion battery, with a volume of 8 cubic centimeters, is optimized by using the latest computer-based simulation technology, and optimizes the mix of metal and silicon

According to the results of this experiment, the longevity of the lithium ion battery charge and discharge times can reach 25,000 times, if calculated on a daily charge and discharge, the service life can be up to 70 years. And sharp said that the actual charge and discharge 10,000 times, its performance is still stable. By this calculation, the life of such a lithium-ion battery would be six times longer. Even when combined with renewable energy generators, the batteries can be used even when the solar panels and wind turbines are updated.

The researchers plan to use the long-lived lithium-ion battery for wind and solar power as a large storage battery. At present, wind and solar power generation by climate impact, power output will change at any time. If with the battery, can ensure stable output, reduce the impact on the power grid. Frequent replacement of batteries is an important factor in raising the cost of power generation. If the use of such a life of up to 70 years of lithium ion battery applied to this, it will greatly reduce the cost of power generation.
