Researchers at the University of Maryland, the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL), and the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), have found that new methods (fluorinate means) have been found to enhance electric vehicles. Endurance mileage.
The researchers created a fluorine-based electrolyte that, when paired with a lithium metal anode, has a charge-discharge cycle of 1,000 cycles and a large battery capacity. Users can charge and discharge continuously with virtually no performance loss.
Fluorine reinforced electrolyte
Even after 1000 charge and discharge, the battery capacity retention rate is as high as 93%, which is mainly due to its fluorine-enhanced electrolyte. This means that after a few years of use, an electric passenger car will have substantially no cruising mileage.
Using high voltage battery electrolyte
Researchers have made it as a coin-cell and are currently working with industry companies to use electrolytes for high-voltage batteries. The battery is also used in nickel metal, which can react strongly with other materials anyway. .
Non-flammable electrolyte
The study aims to overcome the capacity limitations of lithium-ion batteries. Researchers use fluorinated materials to extend the life of the battery. In addition, the material can also prevent the ignition of the original flammable electrolyte and improve the safety of the vehicle battery.
In the future, electric vehicles will become more and more popular. A research report predicts that by 2025, the application of electric vehicles will save 2 million barrels of gasoline per day.
