A large number of modern car enthusiasts are interested in knowing the latest news related to the latest charging technologies for electric cars, as many researches are being conducted in order to develop alternative sources of energy, as most of the electricity is recently used as a main energy resource, and the reliance on new devices that pump out renewable energy sources.
Despite the media popularity and great marketing of electric cars through various social media as the future of modern transportation, it is not widely disclosed, for example, many people are unaware of the problem of slow charging in electric cars, as it takes a long time in order to complete the shipping process.
However, we cannot say that the previous problem is eternal, as work is being done to address and develop such problems from time to time. With the high price of oil and fuel, the world is now moving towards clean energy, and therefore any positive development regarding the electric car industry is a step towards the future Safe and free from harmful emissions from conventional fuels.
Discover a new way to charge electric cars
In the same regard, a modern method of charging electric cars was discovered by a team of Chinese researchers, which in turn increases the speed of charging lithium-ion batteries (responsible for operating electric cars). Through the results, it was found that the charging process took only 5.6 minutes to reach a percentage of 60%, according to a report issued by TechXplore .
The Chinese research team achieved these amazing results by adding a group of nanowires with a copper coating to the battery anode in order to improve the charging process completely and efficiently.
To make it more clear, the majority of anodes today are made of graphite that is built inside an unordered area, which is not a practical way at all to pass current, in addition to that, the way the materials are lined up inside the anodes leads to some problems related to the size of the spaces between them.
Based on the foregoing, the research team focused on the positive electrode in order to speed up the charging process.
How did the research team arrive at the technology of charging electric cars very quickly?
Initially, the team of researchers ran theoretical models at the particle level in order to improve the distributions and fill the gaps between particles of different sizes, as well as the porosity of the electrodes.
The scientists then took the results of modeling changes to the standard graphite types, and then coated it with copper and then copper nanowires into a slurry.
The positive electrode is heated and then cooled, so that (the slurry pressing process) produces a more orderly substance.
After upgrading the anode, the researchers immediately installed it on a standard lithium-ion battery to measure how long it would take to charge.
The results showed that the battery was charged to 60% in only 5.6 minutes, and it reached 80% in 11.4 minutes, but the time it takes for the battery to charge 100% was not measured in order to avoid damage to the batteries.
When to use fast charging technology for electric cars
Science recently published a study stating that researchers on fast charging technology for electric cars have not yet determined the cost of this battery, and it has not yet been announced when it will be ready for production. However, this remains an exciting development in the automotive industry. electrical.
