Imagine a battery for your cell phone that can last up to 5 continuous days.

For many of us, perhaps, our prayers were heard. Finally, a group of scientists from the Monash University of Australia they made one battery with great potential. According to, the Dr. Mahdokht Shaibani, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, They developed one of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) with a super high capacity.

The battery, in addition to having better performance, has a lower environmental impact, compared to existing lithium-ion products. Yes, that seems like little to you, on your smartphone can last up to 5 days of continuous use, without the need to recharge. It can also provide a range of about 1000 kilometers in an electric vehicle.

In this way, scientists are about to begin commercializing Li-S batteries. Since they already have the approved patent PCT/AU 2019/051239 for their manufacture. The prototypes were also produced by the Fraunhofer Institute for Materials Technology.

Evidently, other manufacturers from Europe and the Asian giant are waiting and want to conduct further testing in Australia. It's worth noting that As Professor Mainak Majumder comments, this innovation is a major breakthrough.. Perhaps, I could change the way they are manufactured, cell phones, computers, cars, and solar grids. In other words, this advancement would improve the performance of any device that uses batteries with high energy demands.

How did they make this new battery?

The researchers They used the same materials as standard lithium-ion batteriesWhat they did was reconfigure the design of sulfur cathodes. So that loads with higher stress could be coupled without affecting overall performance.

So, They took the idea from the bridge architecture used in the 1970s for processing detergent powders.. So the team designed a method to establish interparticle bonds and distribute stress to achieve load stability never seen before.

Meanwhile, The research team has received approximately $2.5 million from government and international industries.Furthermore, the commercialization of Australian lithium will raise approximately $213 billion, revolutionizing the market in the Oceania continent.

Finally, tell us how you think these new batteries will affect the cell phone and vehicle markets? Do you consider this a major technological advance?
