WATER COULD BE THE KEY FACTOR OF CREATING A BATTERY

Water could be the key factor of producing a cheaper and environment friendly Lithium ion battery in future. This lithium ion battery is less dangerous and safer then using other battery. These lithium ion batteries are now used in different
modern gadget.
These rechargeable lithium batteries are typically found in mobiles such as cell phone, laptop computer, tablet etc. Even this battery is less expensive.  

"The application of lithium ion battery in electric vehicles is hindered by their high cost," researcher Jianlin Li, a materials scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, told TechNewsDaily. "For example, the cost of the lithium-ion batteries in the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Colt is about $500 per kilowatt-hour, which is almost five times of the target cost — $110 per kilowatt-hour — of an electric vehicle lithium-ion battery set by the president's EV Everywhere Grand Challenge."

All battery produces electricity by electric current between two electrodes -a positively charged cathode and a negatively charged anode. Without using NMP, the scientist said that they will replace it with a method which operates water and this is safer. Li stated -“While it seems quite straightforward to substitute expensive and toxic NMP with water in battery manufacturing, it is very complicated and requires extensive knowledge in science and engineering to realize it,"

Scientists have used different way to utilized water. “No one has been successful with both anodes and cathodes," Li claimed. Utilizing this method the researcher has developed the battery which is comparable in regards of excellence with other conventional battery. Li told that "the whole process is much more environmentally benign,” and “This allows the battery manufacturing more sustainable and affordable."

This battery is yet to come in the market but will soon be released in the market with a revolution.
