Silicone helps increase the battery capacity

How about to hear some good news on the topic of the 

day ? You will not argue that technology fly forward at cosmic speeds , but the area or batteries significantly behind . Diagonal , power, number of cores - it's all fine, but the battery capacity is almost not growing, and new technological solutions actively eat battery . But we continue to hope .

After all, most of those who buy a smartphone, would like to see carried in a pocket gadget would work longer to get it did not need to charge it every day , and some dream that their device can be charged at least once a day , and not stick to the each outlet that came in sight. Stanford scientists report that they are working on this problem and found a way to increase the capacity of modern batteries several times.

Method that scientists invented at Stanford applicable to modern lithium- ion batteries . It turned out that recruit and retain a charge helps silicone. But, unfortunately , it has the ability to fail when using battery . Furthermore, it enters into chemical reaction with the electrolyte and the electric circuit breaks .

However , this technology allows the batteries to increase their capacity as much as 10 times , and because scientists continue to improve the technology , looking for ways how to make silicone need to behave properly. It turned out that the idea of ​​taming stenfordtsev silicone prompted grenades. If nanowires of silicon process and cover carbon fiber , it prevents the rapid destruction of the first. According to laboratory tests , the prototype power supply , built so easily stand it 1000 charge-discharge cycles , while at 97% capacity .
