Ten novelty battery and charging technology inventory

With the support of technology companies, we have seen a variety of battery technologies that are likely to become the standard of the future. Perhaps they will really enter the consumer market in the next few years. Let's look at the following together.

1, ultrasonic charging

The uBeam ultrasonic charging technology was accidentally discovered by 25-year-old graduate student Meredith Perry. In contrast, this technology is closer to wireless charging solutions than to battery technology. However, the advantage is that the ultrasonic signal emitted by a transducer can be accepted by multiple devices and is suitable for use in public environments such as coffee shops and airports. To use uBeam, you also need to attach a transmitter to your phone, or you can create a special case. It is reported that uBeam will launch a trial commercial finished product early next year.

2, dew charging

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a way to obtain electricity from dew, but are still in the early stages of research and development. This technology requires the integration of a specially treated metal plate on the device to obtain power through the dew on the top of the device, which can generate 1 microwatt per square centimeter of metal plate. It takes 12 hours to fill a cell phone. Obviously, this technology is not suitable for daily charging, but provides a feasible charging solution for campers, outdoor work or residents in remote mountainous areas.

3, high-speed charging technology

The StoreDot is a high-speed charging technology developed by the nanotechnology department of the University of Tel Aviv. A Samsung S4 cell phone and a normal battery are used in the demonstration to achieve an amazingly full 30 seconds of operation. The principle of this technology is to use bio-semiconductor materials such as natural organic compounds in the charger, without using special batteries. It is reported that StoreDot is expected to be commercially available in 2016, and the price is only about 200 yuan.

In addition, an inventor named Shawn West launched a high-speed rechargeable battery fundraising campaign on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform that can complete the charge in 26 seconds. At present, as long as the battery type is AA, A, C and D type rechargeable batteries, the future may also be applied in mobile phones and other fields.

4, transparent solar charging board

Alcatel, a mobile phone manufacturer, demonstrated a solar charging technology that integrates a transparent solar panel on the screen of a mobile phone, allowing the phone to be charged in the sun. This technology is not likely to be commercially available until 2015 and can be used as a powerful supplement to ordinary charging forms. In addition, TAG Heuer launched Meridiist luxury mobile phones also use a similar technology.

5, aluminum air new car battery

The new type of aluminum air battery has successfully made the electric car run for about 1,770 kilometers. It seems that Tesla's battery technology is more reliable. This technology uses oxygen in the air to fill the cathode, making it lighter, cheaper, and longer lasting than a liquid lithium battery, which may have a major impact on the future of the automotive industry.

6, urine battery

The Bristol Robot Laboratory in Britain, supported by the Bill Gates Foundation, discovered a new type of raw material that can generate electricity. This is urine. So how does it work? Simply put, it is to make a set of microbial battery system that generates electricity by decomposing microbial components in the urine. Research shows that urine power is about three times stronger than other types of waste, so this technology is very suitable for integration in public or domestic toilets, and it is quite environmentally friendly renewable energy.

7, acoustic power charging

Researchers in the United Kingdom have invented a mobile phone that can acquire power through ambient sounds. The principle is the piezoelectric effect. It charges the mobile phone by collecting ambient noise and converting it into electricity. It seems to be a very portable form of mobile device charging. .

8, Ryden dual carbon battery

Power Japan Plus announced a new type of Ryden dual-carbon battery that uses carbon materials instead of lithium, is more environmentally friendly, and is 20 times more durable than lithium batteries, and is more stable. The company said it will begin production of the new battery later this year.

9, Cheaper Organic Battery

MIT developed an extremely low-cost organic battery that, through a special organic material, costs only 26 times that of a metal battery and has a high storage rate of 97%.

10, silicon, sodium and other elements of the battery

Power generation through sand is also a new type of battery technology. The main principle is to extract the silicon material and replace the lithium with nano-silicon technology. The battery life is up to 3 times longer, and the cost is lower and more environmentally friendly. In addition, there are studies that use sodium to generate electricity, which is more common, less expensive, and has a better battery life than lithium.
