Air Battery Technology

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Hp laptop battery

For shoppers who might consider an electric vehicle if not for the dread range anxiety, much blame can be assigned to the best battery that electro-chemists and engineers have developed for mass production: the lithium-ion battery.

But science may find a way. Researchers at the University of St. Andrews have demonstrated an early form of a much more capable electrochemical cell, based around the lithium-air battery. A lithium-air battery pack could provide four to 10 times more energy density per mass unit than conventional lithium-ion batteries can, the researchers claim.

“We know that lithium-ion has limits,” Peter G. Bruce, a chemist at the University of St. Andrews, in Fife, Scotland, and a battery such as Hp Pavilion dv2 battery , Hp Pavilion dv2z battery , Hp HSTNN-XB87 battery , Hp NB800AA battery , Hp HSTNN-Q21C battery , Hp HSTNN-IB40 battery , Hp Pavilion dv8100 battery , Hp Pavilion dv8200 battery , Hp Pavilion dv8300 battery , Hp 580029-001 battery , Hp Pavilion DV5000 battery , Hp Pavilion ZE2200 battery specialist “for longer than I care to think of,” said in a telephone interview. “We need to go beyond the 300-mile driving range for E.V.’s, so we need a transformational shift. Lithium-air batteries have the potential to provide it,” he said.

Lithium, the lowest-density metal on the periodic table, offers the greatest electrochemical potential and therefore the best energy-to-weight ratio, so in theory it would be the ideal battery material for cars. Lithium is the reason, in essence, why lithium-ion batteries, which shift charges between electrodes in electrolyte-borne lithium ions, work as well as they do.

If successful, lithium-air batteries could do lithium-ion one better. A lithium-air battery pack would extract oxygen from the air to provide a charge source for one of the electrodes. Offloading this task would make the overall package lighter. The devices would be similar in design to the zinc-air batteries commonly used to power hearing-aids.

The trouble is that all previous attempts to build a lithium-air cell out of conventional lithium-ion materials failed after a charge cycle or two. The batteries simply decomposed, in what battery scientists would call an “unstable” chemical reaction.

Prof. Bruce and his colleagues recently took a significant step, however, toward stabilizing lithium-air batteries. In essentially a proof of concept, his team demonstrated the first repeated, reversible operation of a lithium-air battery. The researchers said in Science magazine that they ran a lithium-air lab cell for 100 charge-discharge cycles, during which it lost only 5 percent of its electrical capacity.

Notably, the new battery uses an organic solvent-based electrolyte, which differs from the traditional electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries. Elsewhere in Europe, as well as in Asia and at institutions like I.B.M. Research Almaden, in San Jose, Calif., other research groups have recently claimed matching early-stage successes with stable, reversible lithium-air technology demonstrations using organic electrolytes.

Despite the claimed advance, Prof. Bruce notes that significant testing and refinement would have to occur before commercialization, let alone prototyping of a lithium-air battery pack, could occur. “The new lab cell is still far from a practical device,” he said. “We’re just now trying to address the fundamental science challenges.
