Charging Your Phone Twice a Month Will be Possibl-Fluoride Ions Battery May Increase Battery Lifespans
Imagine not having to charge your phone or laptop for weeks. That is the dream of researchers looking into alternative batteries that go beyond the current lithium-ion versions popular today. Now, in a new study appearing in the journal Science, chemists at several institutions, including Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech for NASA, as well as the Honda Research Institute and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, have hit on a new way of making rechargeable batteries based on fluoride, the negatively charged form, or anion, of the element fluorine. Literature reported that fluoride ions are present in low to high concentrations in water. It is a vital substance for humans in preventing cavity and in facilitating the mineralization of arduous tissues if taken in different concentrations. Higher levels of fluoride ions in groundwater may be a world-wide downside that varied from country-to-country and continent-continent-to-continent (Reimann et al., ...
