Batteries that are themselves chinyat



High-capacity batteries can have a huge impact on all types of technology used by us - from smart phones to electric cars. Researchers at Stanford University have developed a self-healing battery that mends itself at each charging session, which dramatically increases its service life.

The negative electrode, or anode, which is part of the new batteries, combines silicon polymers, which act as' chemical lightning "zalatyvaya microcracks generated using or charging the battery.





Recent battery of the type passed the test successfully, were made of pure lithium as the positive electrode, since its capacity is significantly larger than that of any conventional cathode. Self-healing electrode eight times more ergonomic than conventional carbon anodes in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. In tandem with the conventional cathode that gives the opportunity to create the battery is operating at 40% efficient - service life will increase in two or three times.

So far, the research is at an early stage, since scientists do not fully satisfied with the results - the technology is expected to improve in a few times.
