Today, automakers seem to be running a race to develop the smallest and fastest cars.
Rechargeable batteries for hybrid cars.
The most noteworthy and recent one is the cooperation between the Honda Institute of California Institute of Technology (CalTech)
NASA\'s Jet Propulsion Lab
According to them, they have developed a new alternative standard lithium-
Battery currently used in electric vehicles: flouride-ion batteries. Flouride-
Ion batteries are potential for the future
Power generation storage devices with high energy density can be provided.
More importantly, they can be used as alternatives to lithium. ion batteries.
However, despite their great potential,
In the past, there was a problem with the ion battery overheating, which required a temperature of about 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 Celsius)
Work effectively.
According to their summary published in the journal Science
Com, the reason is \"the current battery needs to operate at the high temperature required for the molten salt electrolyte.
Honda, the California Institute of Technology and NASA believe that the chemical reaction of the battery can generate power even at room temperature, thus solving the problem. “Fluoride-
Ion batteries offer a promising new battery chemistry with an energy density of 10 times higher than the lithium batteries currently available, \"said Christopher Brooks, a researcher and co-researcher at Honda Research Institute.
The author of this paper, in the press release. Flouride-
Ion also has another advantage over lithium
Ions: they can be obtained from more common materials, which is good for the environment. “Unlike Li-
\"Ion batteries, debris will not pose a safety risk due to overheating, and the source materials for obtaining debris will have a much smaller impact on the environment than the extraction process of lithium and cobalt,\" Brooks shared . \".
So far, Honda has not revealed any specific plans for how they will integrate the technology into their vehicles.
Our guess is that it will take them a long time to get this product to the mainstream.
After Honda, California Institute of Technology, NASA developed \"better\" alternative lithium-
The first Ion battery appeared in Carmudi, Philippines.
