New Battery Tech Claims Five Days Of Battery Life On Smartphones

Lithium-ion batteries are very important for everyone because they are the only one which is powering up most of the devices we are using in our day to day life. Smartphone, Camera, Speakers, Bluetooth Devices, Laptops, and a lot more. These batteries have made our life very easy and helped in most of the technological advancement.

Now it has been reported that researchers have developed a new lithium-sulfur battery which is capable of powering a smartphone straight up to five days. Yes! You read it correctly, it is also capable of power an electric vehicle to goes up to 1000km in one full charge.

Researchers from Monash University have developed the lithium-sulfur battery. According to the researchers, this is an ultra-high capacity battery which is capable of performing better than the existing lithium-ion and also do less impact on the environment.

Researchers have improved the structure of cathode which requires minimum interference to electric charge and expands the performance of the battery. Lithium-ion batteries utilize a system to tie the particles, however, the researchers have developed a new system which bridge the particles in a deliver better stability.

In the research paper the scientist explained that "the use of sulfur cathodes in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries and silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is the most attractive example of inexpensive electrodes with excellent ability to store lithium, hence the potential for outperforming today's LIBs."

The research paper also claims that the newly developed high-capacity lithium-sulfur batteries come with low manufacturing cost, better performance, abundant material supply, and reduce environmental footprint. The researchers also claim that this is the world's best lithium-sulphur battery which is designed for large-scale and real-world use.

Already the prototype of the cells are showcased and commercialization process is on the way. It has also reported that the Li-S batteries have outperformed batteries four times which are currently available in the market.
