Canadian scientists promise to increase the range of the electric car in 3 times

Canadian scientists have developed a new method of creating batteries for electric vehicles. Their   The invention makes it possible to increase the range of the vehicle in   3 times!

How it works

Metallic Lithium   Is one of the   most promising materials in   manufacture of batteries. But   the   he has one minus   - lithium dendrites. These are the crystalline outgrowths of lithium, which grow into   battery electrolyte, gradually destroying it. So   they can disrupt the battery, causing it to ignite. Because of the dendrites, the lifetime of such accumulators is fleeting, like a summer vacation in   11th grade.

What did the Canadians come up with?

They came up with a system of   phosphorus compounds and   sulfur, which produces a thin protective layer when it interacts with   metal lithium electrode. Canadians conducted massive tests and   argue that the effectiveness of such a protective system is almost 100%.

When electric cars can travel far and   long?

Will have to wait at least another few years. Topics   Canadians will have to do a lot of tests, develop a commercial version of the battery, and   then convince all manufacturers of electric cars that   they have the best batteries. A   to   at that time   market for sure will be and   other developments. For example,   Toshiba offers instead of increasing the capacity of the battery to use accelerated charging, which in 6 minutes can charge 320 km of track.
