The Japanese have developed a virtually "eternal" battery
Apparently, the battery industry is waiting for a new stage. Scientists from the University of Tokyo discovered technology, which will produce not only more capacious, but also long-lasting batteries for various devices.
As you know, the internal structure of any battery is represented by layers of metal, which during long-term operation begin to decompose and lose their properties, in particular, the original capacity. Currently, most gadgets use lithium and sodium-ion batteries.
However, Professor Atsuo Yamada, together with his team, suggests using ruthenium oxide with a redox layer (Na2RuO3) in batteries. This material is characterized by high wear resistance due to the fact that it is held by the force of Coulomb attraction, in contrast to conventional batteries, where the retention of the layers occurs due to the force of van der Waals. Moreover, as it turned out, the substance proposed by the Japanese is capable of self-healing, which, together with the first parameter, significantly extends the life of new batteries.
According to the researchers, the batteries created on the basis of the above material can be used in any technique, from cars to various portable gadgets.
