MIT researchers have developed a new kind of lithium ion battery that will take just 10-20 seconds for recharge.
These new lithium iron phosphate batteries have been developed by devising a new material processing technique that makes it possible to charge or discharge these batteries in just around 20 seconds.
Currently available lithium rechargeable batteries are found with higher energy densities, but at the same time, they have quite slower power rates and they can only be charged when the lithium ions are aligned precisely.
Ceder and his colleague created a new way to get rid of this problem by developing a new surface structure that allows the lithium ions to quickly move around the outside material.
Tests show that unlike many other available materials for batteries, this new material doesn’t seem to degrade significantly when it is charged repeatedly.
“Now it has become a matter of seconds to charge or discharge batteries and it’s no more a nagging process.” Ceder says.
The material that has been used in these batteries is not new, but the researchers have just changed the way of developing it. According to Ceder, it will be available in the markets within next two year.
