(Image credit: Artur Debat via Getty Images) A technology that could dramatically increase the range and decrease the charging time of electric vehicle (EV) batteries could soon be in many more cars. The technology swaps the graphite normally used on the negatively charged anodes of lithium-ion EV batteries for silicon.
CATL's new Shenxing batteries could speed EV charging. CATL Chinese battery giant CATL unveiled a new fast-charging battery last week—one that the company says can add up to 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) of range in 10 minutes.
The technology swaps the graphite normally used on the negatively charged anodes of lithium-ion EV batteries for silicon. Panasonic recently announced a partnership with Sila Nanotechnologies, which makes the silicon anodes, to integrate the technology into the company's existing battery production line in 2024.
Batteries that can charge quickly while also being small, light, and long-lasting would be a step forward. The trade-off between high capacity and fast charging comes down to the way charged molecules called ions move around in batteries. As a battery charges, an electric current pushes lithium ions from one side of the cell to the other.
As a battery charges, an electric current pushes lithium ions from one side of the cell to the other. The ions can then nestle into spaces in part of the battery called the anode, where they wait. Eventually, they’ll rush back, releasing stored electricity when someone uses the battery to power a device.
In general, the charging ends once the battery gets fully charged. Here, the “Control Termination” decides the end of the charging based on accumulated SoC. It also recognizes the repetitive rapid decays of current in SV-steps as chargeability rejections and couples with SoC to determine the end of charging.
Introduction to Battery Charging System and Methods
A Battery Charging System includes a rechargeable battery and an alternator/dynamo. The battery stores energy, and the alternator/dynamo converts mechanical energy to charge it. Components like voltage regulators manage the process for efficient charging. Rechargeable Battery: Stores electrical energy and is the primary component of the system.
