Incredible new batteries barely degrade after charging hundreds of times
Battery health is critically important, as we tend to hold on to our smartphones for several years. Battery health is also vital for other electronics and electric vehicles. Ideally, we'd want these devices to charge and discharge hundreds of times without degrading much.
We're not quite there, but there's plenty of research happening around the world to improve battery technology and reduce its impact on the environment.
The newest breakthrough concerns a specific type of battery that can endure hundreds of charge cycles while barely degrading. Researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DlCP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a battery type that can maintain its health at almost 100% after hundreds of cycles.
The problem with the battery tech, if we can call it that, is that it's not meant to work inside smartphones or EVs. Instead, we're looking at aqueous organic flow batteries (AOFBs), which can be great eco-friendly, sustainable energy storage solutions for the growing array of renewable energy sources.
