Scientists from Stanford University (USA) have created a battery for
charging smartphones in less than a minute. Researchers believe that this
battery made of aluminum can revolutionize the market due to the speed, low
manufacturing cost and also be more environmentally friendly.
Hongjie Dai, professor of chemistry at Stanford
University, says these aluminum batteries can replace the existing storage
devices. Examples are alkaline batteries that are deemed harmful to the
environment, or the lithium-ion battery that easily explode, unlike the
aluminum batteries.
According to the researcher, airlines United Airlines
and Delta have even prohibit lithium batteries among its passengers the danger
they represent.
The main characteristics of aluminum batteries are
their low manufacturing cost, ability to withstand fire, and finally the
ability to recharge the speed of light.
