The newly developed, long -lasting home batteries with “single crystal electrodes”, the electric vehicle industry is preparing for a great breakthrough. According to a new study, this innovation can withstand millions of kilometers, which is much more than the life of the houses.

The findings published in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society draw attention to the potential of revolution in home performance and sustainability by leaving the traditional lithium ion batteries behind this technology.

Traditionally, lithium ion batteries use electrodes of polycrystalline containing a large number of small particles each of smaller crystals. However, as the ions move inside and out during the charging and discharge cycles, these particles occur over time, cracks occur over time, which limits the battery life. Single crystal electrodes are made of uniform crystals that are much more resistant to mechanical strain and cracking. This can pave the way for longer life.

80 percent capacity after 20,000 charge!

Researchers exhibited this advanced durability in a six -year test. A single crystalline battery passed over more than 20,000 charging-sarge cycles during this test and maintained 80 percent of its original capacity. Considering that the batteries they are currently using should be replaced after about 322,000 kilometers, this increase, which is equivalent to 8 million kilometers of driving, is really groundbreaking.

Researchers say that the prolongation of the use of houses will mean a decrease in carbon trail. Less battery exchange waste and costs for consumers may also make houses more attractive for buyers. In addition, these batteries may have a second use by using the network scale in the energy storage field.

After completing the life of a house, this longer life can store renewable energy, such as sun and wind energy, and provide a greener future. Although single crystal electrode batteries are commercially available, they are not widely used in homes.
