Now, Batteries That Never Need Recharging

ThinkFree · 25-01-2008, 10:28 AM

Tired of mobile phones that always need recharging at the worst moments, researchers in Germany are developing a revolutionary new battery that will never need recharging.

Mobile phones, notebook computers and iPods are all dependent on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to deliver power. But the German researchers have developed a new class of inorganic ionic conductor with a structure analogous to that of the mineral argyrodite.

A team led by Hans-Joerg Deiseroth in Siegen, Germany, reported in the journal Angewandte Chemie that the characterisation of the most conductive representative of the man-made argyrodite minerals was made of lithium, phosphorus, sulphur and bromine atoms.

In ionic conductors, charge is not transported in the form of electrons as it is in metals. Instead, the charge is transported in the form of charged particles, typically lithium ions. This transport requires materials in which the lithium ions can move as freely as possible.
The individual components of argyrodite can be replaced by a number of other atoms without altering the typical structure of the mineral, according to a report on the physorg.com website.

nice ...... bt same thing laptop ko ho toh kya baat hai ........

goodshepherd · 25-01-2008, 04:28 PM

now thats interesting

. but, i am sure they are going to be pretty expensive

iamtheone · 25-01-2008, 06:30 PM

never need a recharge...are they gonna be lyk batteries fitted in the citizen eco-drive series of watches or something lyk that??

casanova · 25-01-2008, 07:28 PM

This would be interesting.

Thanks for the info

If it doesnt have to be charged then a lot of power will be saved

omg what a great news

Wow... thanx for updating.

Sure Govt will ban it in India lol

Eveready wil bribe the officials, else they will be outa business !!

anand1 · 25-01-2008, 10:11 PM

It seems to be feasible as it say so.....

It doesnt mean that you will never have to recharge it ! Its just that they will last longer than the existing generation of batteries! IIRC, there is already one thread that discusses this topic!

The Unknown · 25-01-2008, 10:53 PM

nice & interesting

Quiz_Master · 26-01-2008, 11:56 AM

VERY Nice,...
