smartphones could be charged in 60 seconds with new battery - 3.7 volt lithium ion battery
After scientists at Stanford have invented such a powerful aluminum battery, smartphones can charge in less than a minute, which could revolutionize the industry.
The new rechargeable battery can go from flat to full in a fraction of the time it takes to fully charge your phone, laptop or tablet at the moment.
While it takes about two hours for the iPhone 6 to fully charge
If the aluminum power supply is installed, it will be fully charged in about 60 seconds.
It will last more than 7 times, as long as one lithium-ion battery.
Conventional batteries can be charged about 1,000 times, while new batteries can withstand 7,500 cycles.
Although this new battery can only produce half the voltage of a typical lithium battery at present, scientists believe that they will increase production in the next few years.
"Otherwise, our batteries have everything the battery should have: cheap electrodes, good safety, high safety
Speed Charging, flexibility and long cycle life, "said Dai Hongjie, a professor of chemistry at Stanford University.
"We have developed a rechargeable aluminum battery that can replace existing storage devices such as alkaline batteries and lithium that are harmful to the environment-
Ion batteries that occasionally catch fire.
"Millions of consumers use 1. 5-
"Volt AA and AAA batteries," he said . ".
"Our rechargeable aluminum batteries produce about two volts of electricity.
This is higher than any achievement made by aluminum.
"I think it's a new battery early on.
Very exciting.
The new aluminum batteries are more eco-friendly and safer.
Traditional alkaline batteries are not good for the environment, while lithium-
The ion batteries used in millions of laptops and smartphones may suddenly catch fire and charge for a long time.
Some airlines will no longer use lithium batteries on passenger flights because they are very unstable.
"Even if you drill it, our new battery won't catch fire," Professor Dai added . ". The aluminum-
The ion battery consists of two electrodes, an anode made of aluminum with negative electricity, a graphite cathode with positive electricity, and an ionic liquid electrolyte in a flexible bag.
"The electrolyte is basically a liquid salt at room temperature, so it's very safe.

"Lithium batteries go out in the air, in the car, or in the pocket in an unpredictable way.
In addition to safety, we have also made major breakthroughs in the performance of aluminum batteries.
"Another feature of the aluminum battery is flexibility.
You can bend and fold it, so it is possible to use it in a flexible electronic device.
Aluminum is also a cheaper metal than lithium.
"The study was published in the journal Nature.
