Many are the projects that promise to revolutionize the world of batteries that we have had the opportunity to talk about during these months and that, in the end, in one way or another, have come to nothing or nothing has been republished about it. on possible advances in them. This time I want to talk to you about a new proposal whose researchers promise solve all the problems we have, as users, of autonomy in our gadgets.
On this occasion the project is being developed by a team of scientists from the Central Florida University and they have managed to manufacture a prototype of a battery equipped with an electric supercapacitor that, as they have published in the corresponding paper, could lead to manufacturers developing batteries whose autonomy would be days and even weeks, being able to fully charge the battery in just a few seconds while offering a 20 times longer service life to those of current lithium-ion batteries.
They develop a battery capable of charging in seconds offering a range of weeks.
As he commented Nitin Choudhary, associate researcher at the Central Florida University, thanks to this technology we will be facing a scenario where we will only need to charge our smartphone for a few seconds, which will give us more than a week of autonomy. The real difference between this new battery and conventional ones is that these supercapacitors they store electricity statically on the surface, which enables high-speed recharges while the surface is capable of holding a large amount of electrons, allowing large and durable batteries to be created.
However, before launching the bells to the flight, as those responsible for the investigation have commented, the project is still in a very early stage of development so there is still no estimated date for us to see if this battery finally reaches the market or not. Hopefully, once and for all, it is possible to develop a battery that, as promised, is capable of revolutionizing the market.
