The University of Leeds, UK, issued an announcement a few days ago that researchers at the university have developed a new type of lithium battery that has the same performance as a traditional lithium battery, but has reduced potential safety risks such as fire, and is cheaper. It is expected to be widely used in notebook computers, mobile phones, etc. electronic product. The traditional lithium battery uses a liquid electrolyte and separates the positive and negative electrodes with a layer of polymer film. In the new lithium battery, the two are combined together. Researchers at the University of Leeds managed to fuse liquid electrolytes and polymer films together to create a jelly-like jelly with positive and negative electrodes attached to the jelly.
Professor Ian Ward, who led the study, said that the jelly appears to be solid, but 70% of it is a liquid electrolyte. It can play a good role in the traditional liquid electrolyte conductive lithium battery, based on the new lithium battery made of the same function and the traditional lithium battery.
One of the important advantages of the new lithium battery is safety. Traditional lithium batteries use liquid electrolytes. If the packaging process is not good, the risk of fire and explosion is relatively high. News in this area is reported from time to time. The use of a new type of lithium battery is much safer than using a gel.
In addition, due to the ease of production, cutting, and shaping of such gels, the cost of producing new lithium batteries is also lower. According to data reported by the British Broadcasting Corporation, the price of this new type of lithium battery is only 10% to 20% of the traditional lithium battery. Researchers therefore believe that this new type of safe and inexpensive lithium battery is expected to be widely used in various electronic products.
