Germany developed a super battery electric vehicle life doubled up to 1,000 km

Battery life is not just the pain of smart phone users, but also hinder the development of electric vehicles a major hurdle.

Fortunately, we have a group of unremitting efforts of scientists, they are using their own wisdom to create a larger capacity, charging faster battery system.

Germany Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft company recently announced the development of a super battery, without increasing the volume of the premise can make electric car life doubled to 1000 km.

The battery project manager MareikeWolter said that this new battery is the biggest technological breakthrough is to change the battery internal electrode morphology.

MareikeWolter said, such as Tesla such an electric car, the internal panel is a large number of cylindrical 18650 lithium battery connected, such a design will be a lot of space wasted, and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft's new battery design is to eliminate This space is wasted.

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft battery is designed in a sheet-like format. Each of the metal sheets is coated with ceramic powder, polymer and energy storage material, both as the anode and one side as the cathode. Multi-layer structure is stacked together when it becomes a more compact brick.

MareikeWolter emphasizes that thin-walled cells can have a greater energy density at the same volume, or even double the capacity, due to the space wasted between traditional cylinder cells.

To Tesla ModelS, for example, now the battery life of 540km, and in the use of thin-chip structure after the battery is expected to achieve more than 1000km life.

As planned, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will use this thin-walled battery for actual testing by 2020, but will eventually be available for production, depending on cost control.
