Self-Healing Rechargeable Battery Might Be The Next Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
“Physician, heal
thyself!” How many times have we heard of such a statement mentioned?
Well, the very idea of a self-healing material has been mooted for quite
some time already, but lately, such technology has been made affordable
enough to be reproduced on a mass scale. When it comes to modern day
devices, many people are concerned about the kind of battery life that
these devices will offer, but what happens when there is a rechargeable
battery down the road that is self-healing, which means they never need
to be replaced? Researchers from Stanford University and Tsinghua
University in Beijing, have worked together on a new kind of battery
technology which ensures that the lithiated silicon materials within the
batteries themselves are able to hold electrons a whole lot longer than
existing batteries.
This is made possible thanks to the inclusion of a “self-healing”
coating which will be able to repair the cracks within the battery,
ensuring that all the materials within which make up the battery remain
together. This results in the ability for the materials to be able to
stash electrons for a whole lot longer compared to conventional
batteries which rely on polymer binders. This would automatically
translate to a prolonging of the battery’s life.: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/11/self-healing-rechargeable-battery-might-be-the-next-best-thing-since-sliced-bread/
