Researchers new technology allows the rapid recovery of old batteries to 95% capacity

Apple recently accused for deliberately reducing the performance of the old iPhone old models, despite its defense that the move to prevent accidental shutdown of the old iPhone battery model performance, but it is undeniable that it did deliberately reduce the old models Performance.A recent pioneering new invention will allow Apple to no longer justify the old model so the performance of the Singapore Nanyang Technological University (NTU) researchers claimed to have invented the lithium-ion battery can be restored within 10 hours to 95% of capacity Technology, so that the old battery quickly rejuvenated, for the electronics and electric vehicles industry far-reaching impact.

Lithium-ion batteries because of its design reasons, can not be used with the increase in the number of batteries to maintain the original capacity generally 300-500 charge and discharge cycles down to 80-85% capacity, the use of lithium-ion battery electronics to restore life Performance Must Replace Old Batteries Professor Rachid Yazami of NTU said his invention was able to restore old lithium batteries to 95% of capacity in 10 hours and to repeat the recovery capacity operation on the same battery every few years, This will greatly improve the service life of lithium-ion batteries such as electronic equipment and electric vehicles, and for the industry, the waste of lithium-ion batteries can be drastically reduced, which is also of great significance to environmental issues.

In the Straits Times, Professor Yazami said the invention is even more significant for the electric car industry. 'People do not change cars like smartphones. Most people switch to a cell phone in two years, but the life of the car may last ten Year or more. "After his invention was released, he said industrial giants such as Apple, Samsung and Panasonic have expressed interest in the invention.

This invention adds a third electrode between the existing two electrodes in each lithium-ion battery. The third electrode discharges the remaining lithium ions from one electrode to the other electrode, thereby removing the influence of the battery performance and preventing the battery from storing more The 'impurity content' of electronics, which he built last year and tested on prototype smartphones.
