The long hours spent waiting for one’s electronic devices to charge may soon become a thing of the past, thanks to a University research group led by Paul Braun, a professor of materials science and engineering, which has developed a technology that allows for significantly faster charging and discharging of Sony BC-TRG Charger batteries without sacrificing storage capacity.
Braun’s Sony Cyber-Shot Dsc-w100 Battery will work with a variety of devices and pack a quick and powerful charge.
“Our technology may enable HP Compaq NC6000 Adapter batteries which can be charged very quickly,” he said. “The Panasonic Nv-gs27 Battery will only take about 30 seconds for a cell phone, two minutes for a laptop computer and five minutes for an electric vehicle. These batteries can also deliver their power much faster, which may be useful for both consumer and industrial applications.”
The technology is achieved by using a three-dimensional nanostructure for Sony Np-f970 Battery cathodes, which facilitates faster charging.
“I think the Acer Aspire 5052anwxmi Battery would change how so many electronics work,” said Rajiv Kamaria, sophomore in Engineering. “I just hope it won’t cost a lot. I would definitely want a bunch for all of my handhelds and my laptop.”
The typical lithium-ion or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable Panasonic nvvz1 Battery degrade significantly when they are rapidly charged or discharged. Braun’s MINOLTA NP-900 Charger battery won’t.
According to Braun, the system gives you “capacitor-like power with battery-like energy.” A capacitor stores a small amount of energy while releasing it very fast. A SAMSUNG ES55 Charger battery can store much more energy but cannot release it nearly as quickly.
Braun also said the SHIBA Satellite M35X-S349 Adapter batteries will be similar to those commonly found in stores. However, it will be quite some time before they will hit the market.
“The design we use results in a battery which is quite similar to current Kodak Easyshare v530 Battery except that then can be charged much faster, and can deliver much greater power,” he said. “We hope to have prototype Kodak Easyshare ls755 Zoom Battery in 18 months, and, if all goes well, start selling the batteries in about three years.”
Michael Maguire, freshman in Engineering, believes the Pavilion dv7-1200 Adapter battery’s biggest impact may be on the automobile market.
“Charging a car up in such a short time can be huge,” he said. “My parents have an electric-powered car and it takes a long time to charge it. This Dell Studio 1555 Battery could possibly eliminate gas completely.”
The group’s findings were published in the March 20 advanced online edition of the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
