New fast charging technology allows to use batteries for 20 years

Fast-charging technology are very attractive for users of modern gadgets, however, this technology raises issues related to the lifespan of the batteries. But thanks to scientists from the Technical University Nanyang this disadvantage of this technology can stay in the past.

According to the researchers, they managed to create the possibility of restoring the battery to 70% within two minutes. The battery life can reach 20 years, which is several times the lifespan of conventional batteries used in smartphones and laptops.

The trick is that the researchers used nanotubes of titanium dioxide for the anode instead of the usual graphite, according to the resource Engadget. The use of nanotubes allows to achieve up to 10,000 recharge cycles of the battery instead of the usual 500.

According to scientists, the creation of batteries based on titanium nanotubes are relatively cheap and simple process. In the future, these batteries may be able to make a revolution in the world of modern gadgets.

In addition, this fast charging technology can find wide application at creation of electric cars. Because, you see, it is far better to charge a car in minutes, not hours, and not often to have such an expensive component, the battery.

Unfortunately, scientists have not yet announced the exact release date of fast-charging technology to the mass market.
