Lithium-ion batteries have developed to this day and have become the only energy storage equipment for mobile phones and new energy vehicles. Since the solidification of lithium-ion batteries, now another technology is once again helping lithium batteries.

　　Automotive Krypton learned that Japan’s National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) has recently announced that it has developed a new type of lithium battery with a very high energy density. The energy density of this battery is about 15 times that of the traditional, and the most important thing is this battery. Can support solar charging! Come and learn about it with the editor of the car krypton.

　　The National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) recently announced that it has developed a new type of lithium battery with a very high energy density. NIMS calls this new type of lithium battery "lithium-air battery", and its energy density per unit volume is almost close to the limit, while the cost can also be well controlled. According to NIMS, the "lithium-air battery" uses carbon nanotubes as the air electrode material. Through the optimization of the electrode structure, a very high energy density can be achieved, which is 15 times that of ordinary lithium batteries.

　　Assuming that this technology is applied to electric vehicles, then the theoretical value will easily exceed one thousand kilometers with modelX as an example. Of course, in addition to the cruising range, the convenience of charging is also an important factor to measure the practicality of the battery.

　　At present, a solar battery called Hybbi has come out. This is the world's first lithium-ion battery that can support solar charging, and it is the world's first solar battery that can replace the original battery. By directly replacing the original battery of the mobile phone, this direct charging method has extremely low energy loss, and the efficiency is twice that of other solar charging products. Hybbi solar panels are covered with Gorilla Glass, using a laser cutting process, and the thickness is less than 1mm. Under direct sunlight, the charging speed can reach 20% of electricity per hour.
