Double capabilities for rechargeable lithium batteries
Posted May 9th, 2007 by Alex IonI have a laptop and I always need more power when I take it off the electricity because I like to have lots of brightness and the CPU to run like it’s normal. I always need a longer lasting battery to my cellphone or for my wireless headphones, so I guess every gizmo nowadays could use better batteries.
Researchers of the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory pretend to have developed better technology for building rechargeable lithium-ion batteries “based on a “manganese-rich†nano-crystalline, layered-composite structure that is used as material for the positive electrode” announced TGDaily. It’s supposed to double the capacity the batteries have nowadays and would be less pricier because they will use manganese-rich systems instead of cobalt and nickel versions. No data on when it will go into mass production. - ALEX ION
