Scientists say the traditional battery will become the history
As we all know the battery will cause great harm to the environment, but as one of the necessities of life, people are unable to leave it, so how to find an alternative product will become the scientists have always hoped to overcome many problems. According to British media reported yesterday, giving us several generations to provide kinetic energy of the battery, will soon be thrown into the dustbin of history.
British scientists say they invented a plastic that can store and release energy, which will allow us to use the telephone, electric car, even in the dressing, it’s always brought a revolutionary change. For example, mobile phones and Walkman player can be used like a credit card-sized card to provide a small mechanical power.
This technology helps manufacturers such as paper folding, and carry the same computer screen. And it can be used to create “power clothes” in the people moving charge, when the slow release of energy in keeping warm during cold weather.
This stored electrical plastic works similar to traditional batteries, from 3-layer fiber material composition. Covered by two layers of carbon fiber upper and lower conductive resin, respectively, as positive and negative; the middle of laminated glass fiber. British Airways Department of Imperial College, said Dr. Emile Greenhalgh, exactly speaking, is not a new invention but a super capacitor batteries. His team invented a prototype plastic, about five square inches in size and very thin, charging five minutes can be used for LED screen 20 minutes of power.
Dr. Greenhalgh is working with Volvo Car Corporation, launched a three-year cooperation plan at a cost of 3 million pounds development of hybrid cars, he said: “Thanks to our newly invented materials, we believe that the future of the automobile can be the roof or the doors to be dynamic. ”
The use of this material than these, for example, that people can have like a credit card-sized mobile phone, because they no longer need bulky batteries, or a laptop computer can also get energy from the shell, but also can be used longer.
He also added that the new material charge and discharge faster than conventional batteries, but does not occur when using a chemical reaction, therefore live longer.
Scientists planned to use this material to replace the Volvo car trunk inside the metal chassis. This Volvo Car batteries can reduce the size of its hybrid, you can reduce the weight and more efficient.
Dr. Greenhalgh said: “No one can create with this new type of plastic match the material, within ten years it will replace the old batteries.”
