Lithium metal and water will play a rapid and drastic chemical was considered unsuitable as a Sony VGP-BPS2 Sony VGP-BPS2A. Bao geography has developed a “protected lithium electrode,” in order to solve this problem. Based in Berkeley, California, PO Geography (Polyplus), the company develops the use of ambient air, such as a battery cathode high energy light. Bao manufacturing company with an American partner for the U.S. government has developed a lithium metal battery time of the air, the battery is expected within a few years on sale. Bao Geography of the company also produces lithium-metal-ion rechargeable lithium-air, is now developing products to start with this battery-powered electric vehicles eventually extended the time between charges. In recent years from the plug-in hybrids to a laptop, with the increase of such devices in the energy needs for light, people are interested in the metal-air batteries, lithium is increasing. Yin and Yang electrodes of Li-ion batteries, made from materials of graphite, while the lithium-metal-air is a lithium metal anode is made solely by the cathode through the air may be. Lithium-Metal air batteries do not need access to equipment in high power density are needed to study, to be close to the energy density of the fuel cell. In theory, the greater energy density is greater than limit of 5000 watts per mile, or more than ten times the current density of energy lithium batteries. Because they are not necessary to load reactive cathode, the lithium metal-air batteries are very light. Lithium metal is “sacred battery materials,” Po Geography, Chief Technology Officer and founder Steven • Visco (Steven Visco) said. Sony VGP-BPS2B Sony VGP-BPS2C
IBM recently announced energy and transport networks will develop lithium-metal battery of ‘air. “Lithium-ion is very perfect, but the lithium metal can be won,” California-based CIMA city (Sylmar, CA) Union Kwame (Quallion) Battery Manufacturing Company President Paul • Beach (Paul Beach) said. However, the use of lithium metal electrodes as the battery has been problematic, mainly due to lithium metal and water reaction will play a quick, drastic chemical. “People keep thinking of lithium-air for several decades, but there is always the presence of water in the air Ah,” Visco said. Even just one exposure to traces of water, raw materials deteriorate quickly. Bao geography has developed a process they call “protected lithium electrode” products in order to solve this problem. This device consists of a rectangular plate of metal composition of lithium, the exterior with a knowing “lisicon” veneer ceramic electrolyte material covered. The solid electrolyte does not enter the water, but allow lithium ions to move through. In addition, a coating to prevent the electrolyte and lithium metal reacts. And finally, this device is similar to chip potatoes in a sack of rolled aluminum polymer peak. This provides seal waterproof laminated films, flexible and easy to bend, so use of contraction when the electrode will not cause tension. When the lithium metal electrode placed in water, lithium-ion release, with the oxygen dissolved in water or water itself is to take effect. Fabricated metals lithium-air equipment, equipped with an electrode gas diffusion which, with hearing aids used in the manufacture of zinc used in the metal of the Sony VGP-BPS8 Sony VGP-BPS8A looks like electrodes. And with the hearing aid batteries are different is that over time, these lithium-metal-air battery will not self-discharge. “You can put metal in the lithium-air resting on a shelf for months because of the thin layers of protection for the battery so that the normal course,” said Visco. But because of the high Lithium-metal energy spread, the battery life is also longer and lighter than the zinc-air batteries are much longer.
Bao Geography Society is currently working with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, California (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) to work together to test the lithium metal water, the battery can afford to determine the actual conditions of use. Although the initial test provides a good result, but there is concern is the battery of marine microbes in the cut surface of the growth at the expense of operation of the battery. Bao Geography manufactured disposable batteries, using about 2 inches square, 3 mm thick lithium metal. This one-time close to current capacity Laptop Battery Rechargeable lithium-ion storage capacity, while the weight is only one fifth of lithium-ion Sony VGP-BPL8 Sony VGP-BPL8A. Bao Geography boasted, in conjunction with partners from the battery manufacturer at Po geography design electrode based on the contract will be for a government agency that produced undisclosed battery. Kwame associated company, said the treatment of lithium metal electrode can use the existing battery manufacturing Lithium-ion in many facilities. “Need some preventive measures to deal with materials, but nothing special stuff,” Beach said. Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute • Bellingham, chief technologist, James (James Bellingham) said that for underwater applications, the lithium metal has a “change” potential. Bellingham, as noted, most of the marine research took place in areas near the coast, because “the oceans are not blocked electricity to detect pieces filled with self-control devices Navigation Navy to monitor the load. Bellingham said that higher energy density batteries, can make the results of the monitoring of climate change on Earth became a better fate. Sony VGP-BPS9 Sony VGP-BPS9/B
