Over the years, scientists have been producing batteries that run longer and adjust to different temperatures. However, this time, innovation has come to another level. Lithium -ion batteries are commonly used to provide electricity to smartphones and cars. Although these batteries are covered with a strong layer to prevent potential stress from the amount of air, they are not able to wear soft robots or wear. Recently, a team of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, has created a non -toxic flexible battery that is extremely spread and avoids rotating or even stabbing.

About self -healing lithium battery

This self -healing stretch battery has been developed by a multi -faceted team at the University of California, Berkeley, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. According to his published article in the journal Science Advances, this group of scientists has proven that the stretchable lithium battery remained stable after passing through 500 charging/discharge cycles. The features of this battery are highly developed, as it fixes itself, and the jelly -shaped structure makes it flexible.

Process

The development of this new battery was implemented using a zoo ventric polymer, which includes both positive and negative charges. Such polymers bond with water molecules with a charging section, while negative charges attract lithium ions. This management allows the water to be firmly bound inside the battery, when the voltage is applied, it further restricts the risk of distributing and leaving lithium ions. In addition, scientists added acrylic acid, followed by Floren Free Lee salt -based hydrogel electrolyte (up to 311 volts) cross linker.

Results

As a result of the aforementioned process, the battery was 19 % of the water and exhibited stability with 50 NUMT moisture. Subsequently, a scientist team assessed its work by connecting the circuit board to LED lights. As a result, the battery performed for more than a month, and was less observed than being distributed in water. After that, the battery continued to operate even after the spread, puncture, needles, razors and layers.

The team of scientists from California University, Berkeley, has proven that innovation does not know any limit. These batteries will work as museums in soft robots and wearing tasks. Avoiding the disadvantages and the presence of non -toxic ingredients makes it an outshine compared to other lithium batteries.
