Isuka kwi mit, I-Massachusetts Institute of Technology, isanda kwazisa ukuba elinye lamaqela abo ophando likwazile ukuyila a ibhetri entsha ye-lithium-oksijini ephucula kakhulu kubomi obuluncedo kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwamandla ngaphezu kwazo zonke iinguqulelo zangaphambili. Njengeenkcukacha, xa kuthelekiswa neebhetri ze-lithium-ion, iimodeli ze-lithium-oxygen zivelele ngokunikezela ngoxinaniso oluphezulu kakhulu. Ngokumalunga nedatha njengoko kunjalo, kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba enye yale bhetri ingaba ne-90% esebenzayo, iphindwe kahlanu kwaye ibe namandla aphindwe kashumi. Enye yeengongoma zayo ezimbi, eqhubeka nokuthelekisa, kukuba inikezela kuphela malunga ne-2.000 imijikelezo yentlawulo.
Ngokuchanekileyo ngenxa yeempawu zabo ezinkulu, amaqela amaninzi abaphandi baye bazama ukuphucula ezo ngongoma zingathandekiyo, kude kube ngoku, zibenza bangasebenzi. Enkosi kwiziphumo eziphunyezwe ngabaphandi be-MIT, umnyango omtsha unokuvulwa, ngakumbi kwimarike efana nale iimoto zombane kunye izixhobo zombane eziphathwayo.
I-MIT lithium-oksijeni ibhetri yoyisa amanqaku amaninzi amnyama kwiinguqulelo zangaphambili ezinikezelweyo.
Njengoko besitshilo, olu hlobo lutsha lweebhetri lusabonisa uthotho lwe iingxaki ezenza zingasebenzi, kuquka ukongeza kwimijikelo yokutshaja namhlanje Baphulukana nenxalenye elungileyo yamandla abo njengobushushu., Zithotywa ngokukhawuleza ngokwentelekiso kwaye ufuna iinxalenye ezongezelelweyo ezibiza kakhulu ezinikezelwe ukupompa ioksijini ngaphakathi nangaphandle koyilo, ngokungafaniyo nemveli, iseli evulekileyo.
Ngokuphathelele umsebenzi owenziwe yi-MIT izazinzulu ngokubhekiselele kwiibhetri ze-lithium-oksijeni, kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba baphumelele. yenza utshintsho kwikhemistry yebhetri ngendlela enokuthi ngoku itywinwe ngokupheleleyo ukuze isetyenziswe njengebhetri yesiqhelo. Olu hlengahlengiso lunciphisa i-voltage kahlanu, nto leyo ekhokelela ekutshajisweni okukhawulezayo kunye nokusebenza kakuhle, ngelixa ukuphepha imeko yegesi ye-oksijini kuthetha ukuba ubomi bayo obuluncedo bunokwandiswa.
Ngethuba leemvavanyo eziqhutywe kule nkqubo, i-prototype entsha ibonakaliswe kwimijikelezo ye-120 yokuhlawula kunye nokukhupha, ebonisa ilahleko engaphantsi kwe-2%, oku kuthetha ukuba le bhetri iya kuba nobomi obude obude. Iqela elijongene nophuhliso lwale projekthi linethemba lokuba Vavanya iprototype ephuculweyo ngo-2017.
