Considering that electric vehicles are described as ‘the future’, batteries It becomes very important. We see lithium-ion batteries in the vast majority of today’s cars. However, these types of batteries can have some disadvantages. A new technology introduced from China aims to be an alternative to this.

Researchers in China have succeeded in developing a water-based battery. The new battery technology uses lithium batteries that have a greater chance of burning. much safer in terms of safety and energy efficiency It was said that this was so.

This battery, which could revolutionize electric vehicles, has twice the energy density

Additionally, researchers found that new batteries are more efficient than traditional lithium-ion options. twice the energy density He says he can have it. This shows that they have the potential to revolutionize the electric car field.

New battery for electrolytes water as solvent advantages. This increases their safety compared to other alternatives. Lithium-ion batteries, which do not use water, have a high energy density but pose a safety risk due to flammable organic electrolytes, the components that charge the battery. It was also stated that the lifespan of batteries is quite long. Accordingly, in the tests up to 1,000 cycles It was observed that it could amount to

The research was conducted by scientists from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and the findings were published via Nature Energy. Researchers have developed a multi-electron transfer cathode based on bromine and iodine. This cathode was tested Capacity more than 840 Ah/L and energy density up to 1200 Wh/L managed to achieve. To obtain high energy density, they used a halogen solution consisting of iodide and bromide as the electrolyte.

It is of course still too early to use such batteries on a large scale. However, it shows that water-based batteries with high energy density can be developed and offered as an alternative to traditional battery technologies. Perhaps we will also see these types of batteries in electric cars in the future.
