A research group at the University of Glasgow in the UK says it has found the perfect solution for future electric cars: a battery that can run on rust, adding water to recharge it again, the foreign media reported. Researchers in Glasgow have introduced a battery that differs from ordinary types: the use of metal oxides, which they call ' bizarre rust '. When you add water to the battery, you can recharge it.
When the battery is exhausted, the driver uses a suction nozzle to clean the rust and then add water again to fill the battery. The challenge for some European countries to move ahead with the electrification of automobiles is the need to find a sustainable way for electric cars to run for long periods of time. This includes charging station infrastructure construction and how to delineate a better charging station range.
The battery-powered car, like today's petrol-powered car, can be recharged at the charging station, BBC reported. Professor Cronin explained that charging time seemed to be an almost unstoppable obstacle to the popularity of electric cars, and that even charging a vehicle over a super charging station would take half an hour to 45 minutes to wait.
The advantage of this battery is that drivers don't have to wait a few hours to recharge their batteries again, and they can simply fill up the water like a conventional electric car and leave. However, Professor Li Cronin, team leader, said it was relatively easy to produce this concept, but it was a real challenge to extend it to a car and then mass-produce it.
Nonetheless, he believes that once it succeeds, its higher transmission capacity will make the battery more widely available. UK University develops new EV battery
