Battery technology is developing incrementally; is there a breakthrough in prospect?

Battery technology is developing incrementally ; 
There are expectations of a breakthrough ?



 - View more at Battery technology - at least in the last century - one of them running the slowest . Sony transistor radio came with the move to the technology , but things have changed drastically since then there was no real need for the - The problem is it 300Whr / kg there is a point where the energy density of lithium sulfur battery technology development notes by Oxis Energy .


It is 12 times greater than it was 18 months ago - According to the company , only the power density is increased , the cell capacity is also increased to 25Ahr . Also the German Research Network Fraunhofer Lee - sulfur battery and it is working on 600Whr / kg is believed to be able to reach Battery technology is one of many companies with Oxis Research .




Some others are focusing on new anode materials , new chemistries, are working . Nexeon, a modern one , Silicon anode Li - Ion cells used carbon anode will save 10 times as much as the charge . Then there are organizations working on ways to speed up the recharging process There are good reasons for all this work . Consumers device manufacturers looking for a small battery , so that they can develop small products, devices , and you want to end up in charge . Meanwhile , at the other end of the scale , the same size as today's automotive manufacturers, the future of electric cars or more miles from the small battery from the battery to the same range.



  However , before addressing a seminar in 2014 , the battery chemistry pioneer Dr. Yoshio Nishi - before Sony 's director of materials research - the Li - ion displaced not see any of the current options . He Li - ion is still new anode and cathode materials , plus such approaches as polymer gels , moving on with things , offers the best way forward seems Yet , despite all the studies , the battery technology is improving only incrementally . Dr. Nishi battery that can be used to make the possible combinations of materials have noted 110million . Perhaps one of those will provide a breakthrough is being sought ?
