Gadgets can work 10 times longer

Approximately with these words scientists from Stanford University briefly describe their new development, who managed to create a technology that significantly increases the capacity of standard lithium batteries. The old ones, as is known, are widely used primarily in portable electronics: phones, music players, cameras, laptops, etc. If you believe the scientists, the battery, created by the new technology, will be able to store ten times more energy than the existing lithium-based batteries. That is, say, for the same laptops, the autonomy period will increase on average to 30-40 hours.



Such a noticeable increase in capacity was achieved through the use of nanotechnology (Ivanov, face!), Namely, the use of more capacious silicon instead of carbon. Despite the seeming complexity, the technology for producing batteries based on silicon nanotubes is relatively simple, so mass production of commercially available super capacious batteries can be said, not far off.



It remains to wait for the demonstration of the first prototypes.
