Kung, lead author of the paper, in a statement released by the university. &#8220;Even after 150 charges, which would be one year or more of operation, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/hp\/probook-4510s-battery.htm\">hp probook 4510s battery<\/a> is still five times more effective than lithium-ion batteries on the market today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Normally, lithium-ion batteries are charged by electrons moving from the electrolyte into the anode. Current <a title=\"Laptop Battery Shop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/\">batteries<\/a> use anodes made of graphene, which allow one lithium atom per six carbon atoms. Silicon, which allows four lithium atoms per one silicon atom, has been been considered a superior medium for building batteries, but silicon tends to contract and expand significantly during charging, which can cause the <a title=\"HP 484784-001 laptop battery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/hp\/484170-001-battery.htm\">lithium-ion hp\u00a0 484784-001 laptop battery<\/a> to suffer fragmentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/discount-laptop-batteries.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/images\/discount-laptop-batteries.gif\" alt=\"discount laptop batteries\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kung&#8217;s team sandwiched clusters of silicon between the graphene sheets, which Kung&#8217;s team claimed would eliminate or marginalize the fragmentation. They also &#8220;drilled&#8221; 10- to 20-nm holes in the sheets to speed up the recharging process, by as much as ten times.<\/p>\n<p>According to the university, the next step will be to look at improvements to the cathode and electrolyte. Kung&#8217;s team hopes to develop an electrolyte that can be shut off under high temperatures to prevent fires or explosion, then later reversed.<\/p>\n<p>You may also like<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Nation-Sized Solar Battery and Battery Technology\" href=\"http:\/\/batteryblog.batteries-company.com\/nation-sized-battery-and-battery-technology.html\">Nation-Sized Solar Battery and Battery Technology<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Reset HP 484170-001 Laptop Battery Instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/batteryblog.batteries-company.com\/reset-hp-484170-001-laptop-battery-instructions.html\">How to Reset HP 484170-001 Laptop Battery<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How to take care of your laptop and laptop battery\" href=\"http:\/\/batteryblog.batteries-company.com\/how-to-take-care-of-your-laptop-and-laptop-battery.html\">How to take care of your laptop and laptop battery<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Preserve and Troubleshoot Your iPhone 4S Battery Guide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/preserve-and-troubleshoot-your-iphone-4s-battery-guide.htm\">How to Preserve and Troubleshoot Your iPhone 4S Battery<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Chinese entrepreneur plans to build Southland laptop battery factory\" href=\"http:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/chinese-entrepreneur-plans-to-build-southland-laptop-battery-factory.htm\">Chinese entrepreneur plans to build Southland laptop battery factory<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a lithium-ion electrode that they say will allow conventional Li-ion batteries to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76,19,3,17],"tags":[734,276,735,646,733,736],"class_list":["post-608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-batteries-company-com","category-battery-knowledge","category-battery-news","category-battery-technology","tag-10x-charge-life-of-lithium-ion-batteries","tag-hp-probook-4510s-battery","tag-lithium-ion-hp-484784-001-laptop-battery","tag-lithium-ion-laptop-batteries","tag-new-battery-technology","tag-www-heatingelementsinc-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":611,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions\/611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.batteries-company.com\/battery-care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
