The 94-year-old professor who helped come up with the original lithium-ion battery reveals his new 'superbattery' that can charge far faster (and never explodes) - lithium ion battery manufacturers
A new longer-

Old Professor John Goodno
Inventor of lithiumion battery. Lithium-
Ion batteries are one of the most popular rechargeable batteries in many mobile devices, but they sometimes explode and catch fire
The same is true of the Samsung Galaxy 7 battery explosion.
But this new battery technology may increase the distance between electric vehicles charging and charging in minutes instead of hours.
The new battery technology can be used for mobile devices, electric vehicles and fixed energy storage.
It was developed by Dr. Maria Helena Braga, senior fellow at the College of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.
Low battery-cost, all-
Solid and non-combustible.
Long cycle life (battery life), fast charging and discharge.
Cost, safety, energy density, charging and discharge rates, and cycle life are critical to the battery
Professor Goodno says driving cars will be adopted more widely.
We believe that our findings address many of the problems inherent in today's batteries.
The researchers found that the energy density of the new battery is at least three times that of the current lithium. ion batteries.
The energy density of the battery is the source of the mileage of the electric vehicle.
Higher energy density means the car can travel a longer distance between charging.
The patented battery technology also allows for more charging and discharging cycles, which will result in longer charging and discharging cycles
Long lasting battery and faster charging speed.
Lithium currently in use
The ion battery contains two electrodes-
One is made of lithium (cathode) and the other is made of carbon (anode --
Submerged in a liquid called electrolyte, the charge flows between the electrodes.
If the battery charges too fast, it can cause metal-
Like a beard, it is called a branch crystal, forming and passing through a liquid electrolyte, causing a short circuit, causing an explosion and a fire.
But this new battery has a glass electrolyte inside instead of a liquid electrolyte, which allows researchers to use the Alkali
There is no metal anode forming a shoot crystal.
With alkali-
Metal anode (lithium, sodium, or potassium) has a long battery cycle life
In the experiment, the new battery showed 1,200 cycles of low battery resistance.
The battery can also work at very cold temperatures
20 degrees Celsius (-
4 degrees F), so it can perform well on the car in cold conditions.
This is the first solid.
The state battery (which means it has solid electrodes and solid electrolyte) can work at temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another advantage of batteries is that they can be made from Earth.
Friendly material.
Glass electrolyte can replace low-
The price of lithium is sodium, says Dr. Braga.
Sodium is extracted from widely available seawater.
Dr. Braga began working with colleagues during his time at the University of Porto, Portugal to develop glass electrolyte.
But two years ago they started working with Professor Goodno, who understood the properties of solids --
Glass electrolyte.
The team is continuing their research on batteries and is working on several other patents.
In the short term, they want to work with battery manufacturers to test batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage devices.
