Indian Researcher Ankur Gupta has developed a new technology that can charge a phone in a minute and also can charge a laptop in one minute. It can also charge an electric vehicle in just 10 minutes.
Claim to charge phone and laptop in one minute
Usually it takes at least 30 minutes to charge any electronic device. But the field of science and technology is improving so rapidly that now you will be able to charge your damaged laptop or mobile phone in just one minute and electric car in just 10 minutes. Yes, this new technology has arrived. A researcher of Indian origin has developed such a technology which can do this work in just a few minutes.
Ankur Gupta, an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering at Colorado Boulder University in America, and researchers of his team have discovered this new technology, which has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
How will the new invention improve supercapacitors?
Researchers have found that the motion of small charged particles, called ions, can be accelerated inside the complex structure of micro pores. Gupta says that this discovery can accelerate the development of more energy efficient storage devices like supercapacitors.
Gupta said that supercapacitor is an energy storage device that depends on collecting ions in its micro pores. He further said that this new technology invention is important for electric vehicles, electronic components and electricity grids. It is worth noting that supercapacitors can charge faster than batteries and their lifespan is also longer.
Also beneficial for the electricity grid
Regarding the power grid, the assistant professor said that the changing energy demand requires efficient storage to reduce waste during times of low demand and to provide energy from the dart during times of high demand.
“Given the important role of energy in the planet’s future, I felt inspired to apply my chemical engineering knowledge to advance energy storage devices,” Gupta said. “It seemed like the subject was somewhat overlooked and, therefore, it was the perfect opportunity,” he added.
The specialty of supercapacitors
The specialty of supercapacitors is their motion. So how can we speed up their charging and energy release? By more efficient speed of ions. That is the highlight of this research. We have found the missing link,” he said.
The researchers also found that their new technology discovery enables the simulation and prediction of ion flow in a complex network of thousands of interconnected pores in a matter of minutes. They said that prior to this discovery, ion activity in the literature was described as occurring only within a straight hole.
