'Instantly rechargeable' electric car batteries in the offing - electrical energy storage systems
An energy storage system developed by researchers at Purdue University will enable drivers to fill electric or hybrid cars with liquid electrolyte
Like refueling their tank, charge the used battery fluid.
Scientists are developing safe, economical, and eco-friendly rechargeable batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles
Friendly than existing technology.
This new technology will eliminate the need for electric vehicle batteries to stop charging and significantly reduce the need for new infrastructure that supports recharging
Charging stations, researchers say.
An energy storage system developed by researchers at Purdue University will enable drivers to fill electric or hybrid cars with liquid electrolyte
Like refueling their tank, charge the used battery fluid.
Waste battery fluids or electrolyte will then be collected and taken to solar power plants, wind turbine installations or hydropower plants for reuse
Charging, the researchers said.
"The refinery will re-process the waste electrolyte instead of refining oil, and the gas station will allocate water, ethanol or methanol solutions to the power car as fluid electrolyte, said John Kushman of Purdue University.
The user will be able to discard the discarded electrolyte at the gas station and then send the electrolyte in bulk to the solar power plant, wind turbine facility or hydropower plant for reconstruction or reconstruction
The researchers said it was charged to a viable electrolyte and reused multiple times.
"People believe that our technology may decline.
"It is ready for most underground pipeline systems, rail and truck transport systems, gas stations and refineries," Kushman said . ".
Mike Mueterthies, PhD teaching and research assistant at Purdue University, said: "Other mobile batteries exist, but we are the first to remove the membrane, which reduces the cost and extends the battery life.
"Membrane contamination can limit the number of charging cycles and is a known cause of many battery fires," but out components are safe enough to be stored in the home, stable enough, able to meet major production and distribution needs and cost-effective. "
