Most modern smartphones in active use hardly survive till the evening. Real increase battery life can provide a new type of batteries. Their company is engaged in the development Sakti3, which has invested well-known manufacturer of vacuum cleaners Dyson. The amount of investment totaled $ 15 million.
Sakti3 company was founded eight years ago by experts at Michigan State University (USA).In the invention, it solid lithium-ion batteries instead of explosive liquid electrolyte used in more stable solid polymeric material. As a result, the specific density of the stored energy is increased to 2 times. For example, last summer reached the mark of 1,100 watt-hours per liter against 250-730 Wh / l in the non-rechargeable batteries of this type.
The new technology provides the ability to upgrade existing production of batteries without a full replacement of equipment, and low cost of materials only accelerate its implementation.According to the company, the technology promises to increase the life of power sources, reducing their costs and reduce harmful emissions into the environment.
Under the agreement, Dyson will have the opportunity to bring development Sakti3 the commercial market. "Sakti3 reached leap in performance that modern technology to produce batteries simply can not provide. This is one of the fundamental technologies that enable machines to work properly" - said the founder of Dyson James Dyson.
It is assumed that a new type batteries will be used in smart phones, tablets, laptop, home appliances, as well as electric and hybrid vehicles.
