LONG LASTING BATTERY PHONES !!!
These days, everyone has a smartphone ,with Lithium ion rechargeable batteries .
Today, Lithium ion is powering everything around us from smartphones to electric cars .
Today, Lithium ion is powering everything around us from smartphones to electric cars .
But there are some limitations of these
batteries like they are flammable and therefore, can catch fire easily .
We have also seen many of the cases where due to overheating
or over charging , batteries catch fire and can cause serious injuries to
person using it at that time .
After doing many researches, Investigators came up with a conclusion that, its time to move on from lithium ion batteries to sodium ion batteries .
Sodium ion batteries is a type of
battery that are analogous to previous batteries but the risk factor with this
reduces to least . Its working principle and cell construction is mostly
similar to lithium ion batteries
Now, on charging, Na+ ions are extracted from cathode terminal and
inserted into anode while electrons keeps moving in external circuit , during
discharging reverse process takes place inside it .
ADVANTAGES
Sodium ion batteries have many advantages when compared to other batteries out there in market . We have listed all the details in tabular
form below . CHECK OUT !!!
AVAILABILITY
Since 2011, the discussion is all about the availability of
lithium which is very limited in nature and if you look at sodium side it is 6th
most abundant metal in the earth’s crust and sodium can even be extracted from the
sweater region too . So this makes sodium a reliable element. In other
words you can say that sodium is present in an infinite amount in nature . Due
to all these factors the costs of sodium ion batteries is very low as they are made up from earth abundant metals.
COST
Another advantage can be the construction factor of SODIUM ION BATTERY that it utilizes the same manufacturing
protocols and methods that required for lithium ion batteries and even it works
on same basic principles. Hence sodium ion battery can be the replacement of
lithium ion in terms of applications. Therefore no extra capital cost to
manufacturing industries is required.
APPLICATIONS
Nowadays many of our gadgets, use electricity or work on
batteries. So, we can also use rechargeable batteries at many places. Have a look at the list below :-
- Mobile phones
- Electric cars
- Low speed electric bikes
- Flying drones
- power tools
- scooters , e-buses
and many more !!!
