Stanford University researchers has develop rechargeable batteries that can store charge six times that of the lithium-ion batteries. By the help of this new technology users would have to recharge mobile devices only once a week and an electric vehicle would be able to cover six times more distance on a single recharge.
Research called alkali metal-chlorine batteries.
The researchers have tried a back-and-forth conversion of sodium chloride or lithium chloride to chlorine.
The research was publish (click here to read it) in the Nature journal on 25th August 2021.
The researchers have achieved 1,200mAh per gram of positive electrode material against a commercial lithium-ion battery’s capacity of about 200mAh per gram.
And they hope their batteries will one day help other scientists power satellites and remote sensors where frequent recharging is not practical.
The prototype can be suitable for use in everyday electronic items like hearing aids or remote controls.
