New invention restores old battery to 95% capacity

IT House January 11 news: Apple has been criticized for reducing the performance of old equipment, although Apple claims that this is to prevent accidental shutdown of old equipment due to battery performance degradation, but it is undeniable that Apple did deliberately reduce the performance of the old equipment. But a breakthrough has given apple no reason to limit the performance of older models with batteries. Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore said that the research institute has developed a lithium technology that restores 95% of the battery capacity within 10 hours, giving old batteries a second life and potentially having a profound impact on electronics.

Due to its own system, the lithium battery will continue to decrease in battery capacity as the number of uses increases. When used up to 500 times, the battery will drop to about 85% of the original capacity. If you want to restore the electronic device to the original state has to replace the battery, but Professor Rachid Yazami of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore said that his invention can restore the old lithium battery to 95% capacity within 10 hours, and can repeat on the same battery every few years. Carrying out the recovery capacity operation will greatly improve the service life of lithium-ion batteries such as electronic equipment and electric vehicles, and it can greatly reduce the waste of lithium-ion batteries for the industry, and it is also of great significance for environmental protection.

The old battery may be salvaged, but the new invention restores it to 95% capacity

The development of new energy vehicles is also inseparable from the battery. People usually change their mobile phones in two or three years, but the cars will not. Therefore, the emergence of this technology has also had a profound impact on the new energy automobile industry. It has attracted the attention of many giants. Professor Rachid Yazami said that industry giants including Apple, Samsung and Panasonic have expressed interest in this invention.

The principle of this technology is to add a third electrode between the existing two electrodes. The third electrode transfers the residual lithium ions from one pole to the other, thereby achieving the effect of restoring the battery capacity. Experiments were carried out on the prototype battery of the laboratory.
