And a ten-year lifespan. 🤔 engineering
On top of the improved overall capacity, the scientists say the battery has a more than 1,000 charge cycle. They estimate that it would have a battery life of 10 years when fitted into an electric vehicle.
The challenge nowadays is to make a battery that increases the cycling rate from the former 10 cycles to hundreds of cycles and satisfies multiple other requirements including cost." Professor Kotov has filed a patent application for the aramid membrane and he even plans to found a company to market the new technology.
"Biomimetic engineering of these batteries integrated two scales—molecular and nanoscale. For the first time, we integrated the ionic selectivity of cell membranes and the toughness of cartilage. Our integrated system approach enabled us to address the overarching challenges of lithium-sulfur batteries," he continued.
