How to Prolong Lithium Batteries

The lithium-ion battery works on ion movement between the positive and negative electrodes. In theory, such a mechanism should work forever, but shelf life, cycling and temperature affect the performance. Because batteries are used under many demanding environmental conditions, manufacturers take a conservative approach and specify a battery life between 300 and 500 discharge/charge cycles. [...]

Function of Lithium Ion Battery Separator

The Lithium Ion battery Separator plays the critical role of separating the cathode from the anode. It is this separation of charge that allows the battery to generate electricity. During the charging cycle, the positively charged Lithium ions move from the cathode, through the Separator, to the anode. During discharge, the positively charged Lithium ions [...]

Can We Do Without Lithium-ion Batteries ?

It is very obvious that Lithium-ion batteries have come to stay taking into consideration that almost every day to day gadgets we use make use of lithium batteries such as ipods, Cellular phones, laptops, netbooks, MP3, iphones, game player, electric vehicles, and whole lot of our appliances. What exactly are Lithium-ion-Batteries? According to Wikipedia free [...]

Global Capacity of Li Polymer Battery Cells to Exceed 400 Million Units in 3 Months

According to industry sources, in view of fast growing demand for lithium polymer batteries used in slim notebooks and tablets, the global total annual capacity of lithium polymer battery cells is estimated to exceed 400 million units by the end of 2011. Strong demand boosted prices for lithium polymer cells by 20% in the second [...]

Hybrid solar system makes rooftop hydrogen

Instead of systems based on standard solar panels, Duke engineer Nico Hotz proposes a hybrid option in which sunlight heats a combination of water and methanol in a maze of glass tubes on a rooftop. After two catalytic reactions, the system produces hydrogen much more efficiently than current technology without significant impurities. The resulting hydrogen [...]

Nano bundles pack a powerful punch: Solid-state energy storage takes a leap forward

A paper from the Rice lab of chemist Robert Hauge, to be published in the journal Carbon, reported the creation of robust, versatile energy storage that can be deeply integrated into the manufacture of devices. Potential uses span on-chip nanocircuitry to entire power plants. Standard capacitors that regulate flow or supply quick bursts of power [...]

Human gait could soon power portable electronics

In a paper appearing in the journal Nature Communications, Krupenkin and Taylor, both engineering researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, describe a new energy-harvesting technology that promises to dramatically reduce our dependence on batteries and instead capture the energy of human motion to power portable electronics. "Humans, generally speaking, are very powerful energy-producing machines," explains [...]

Lithium Ion Principle and Reactions

When a lithium-based cell is discharging, the lithium is extracted from the anode and inserted into the cathode. When the cell is charging, the reverse occurs. LCO: Positive reaction: LiCoO2→ Li1-xCoO2 + xLi+ + xe− Negative reaction: xLi+ + xe− + 6C → LixC6 Total reaction: LiCoO2 + 6C → Li1-xCoO2 + LixC6 LMO: Positive [...]
