What ‘s autonomy of current lithium batteries of smartphones and tablets is the often their Achilles heel is not a mystery. That for years scientists and engineers are trying to find technological solutions to remedy the problem is just as well known.
The research team of the Purdue University has discovered that the polystyrene can be used to make rechargeable batteries capable of providing energy for a period of time longer. The researchers, in fact, have warmed the classic Styrofoam balls to temperatures between 500 and 900 degrees , turning them into thin carbon sheets , used to create the anodes of the batteries.
Just anodes made from this process are able to recharge with higher speed and ensure a charge higher than those found in conventional lithium batteries.
Let’s see if this experiment will lead to commercialization of a new type of products.
