New materials for lithium-ion power sources have been developed at Saratov State University named after N.G. Chernyshevsky (SSU), which promise to combine the advantages of batteries and supercapacitors, providing greater durability and safe operation.
These materials, based on vanadium-lithium phosphate and lithium titanate, as well as nanostructured carbon nanotubes, were used to create electrodes that demonstrated a high ability to rapidly accumulate electrical charge.
This approach makes it possible to create power sources that can efficiently charge and discharge energy quickly, and also last significantly longer than traditional batteries. Test results showed that the developed materials have high electrochemical characteristics, which opens up prospects for improving autonomous devices, such as smartphones and tablets. These power sources will be able to operate for a greater number of charge-discharge cycles and will be safe to use, which is an important factor for their mass use.
The work of SSU scientists is part of the federal program "Priority-2030", aimed at developing high-tech solutions for various industries, including industry, medicine and ecology.
