Scientists from the University of Central Florida (UCF) decided to find solutions to overcome it. As a result, a concept battery with a supercapacitor technology.
The battery technology is predicted to be recharged in a matter of seconds. Not only fast, the electricity stored in the device can also be longer, about one week.
"You can charge the phone in seconds and does not need to recharge for more than one week," said one of the scientists involved UCF manufacturing process, Nitin Choudhary.
Unfortunately, the new supercapacitor shaped concept. He has not been produced for commercial purposes, present new prototype for testing activities only.
Supercapacitor is said to have the ability and different way of working than ordinary batteries. The prototype battery utilizing two-dimensional slab, usually in the form of graphene, to save electricity.
Two-dimensional slab was then wrapped around a one-dimensional nano-sized wires. Thick coil is governed only a few atoms thick only. In effect, the electrons can move quickly from the core to the outer shell.
Electric power can be saved more quickly. Durability also tend to be more powerful than regular batteries.
"We developed a relatively simple chemical synthesis, so that the two-dimensional material and the base material can be put together easily," said another scientist Yeonwoong Jung, as quoted KompasTekno from Engadget, Thursday (24/11/2016).
In the prototype, the scientists noted that the supercapacitor battery still looks like new, even after recharged 30,000 times. That is, the supercapacitor battery life about 20 times longer than ordinary lithium-ion batteries.
Even though it looks promising, supercapacitor technology is only made as a proof of concept. Still need more in-depth research and processing if you want to wear it as a commercial battery technology.
Now, scientists creators were filed for a patent for the design of the supercapacitor battery.
