3D-printed lithium-ion batteries. Posted by batterymanufactory.com

Electric vehicles and most electronic devices, such as cell phones and laptop computers, are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Until now, manufacturers have had to design their devices around the size and shape of commercially available batteries. But researchers have developed a new method to 3D print lithium-ion batteries in virtually any shape. They report their results in ACS Applied Energy Materials.

This LED bangle, including a lithium-ion battery, was made entirely by 3D printing.

Most lithium-ion batteries on the market come in cylindrical or rectangular shapes. Therefore, when a manufacturer is designing a product -- such as a cell phone -- they must dedicate a certain size and shape to the battery, which could waste space and limit design options. Theoretically, 3D-printing technologies can fabricate an entire device, including the battery and structural and electronic components, in almost any shape. However, the polymers used for 3D printing, such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), are not ionic conductors, creating a major hurdle for printing batteries. Christopher Reyes, Benjamin Wiley and colleagues wanted to develop a process to print complete lithium-ion batteries with an inexpensive 3D printer.

The researchers increased the ionic conductivity of PLA by infusing it with an electrolyte solution. In addition, they boosted the battery's electrical conductivity by incorporating graphene or multi-walled carbon nanotubes into the anode or cathode, respectively. To demonstrate the battery's potential, the team 3D printed an LED bangle bracelet with an integrated lithium-ion battery. The bangle battery could power a green LED for about 60 seconds. According to the researchers, the capacity of the first-generation 3D-printed battery is about two orders of magnitude lower than that of commercial batteries, which is too low for practical use. However, they say that they have several ideas for increasing the capacity, such as replacing the PLA-based materials with 3D-printable pastes.

스마트폰을 위한 어떤 종류의 배터리가 더 좋은가요? Li-Ion 또는 LiPo?

Did you ever think about why your phone works at all? Probably not. But, if you think about it, all portable gadgets rely on a battery to keep ticking – and some have better battery life than others. That’s why we’re going to take a peek at what keeps your phone ticking and why some batteries do better than others. On the basis of chemistry used for ions carrying electrolyte material, Lithium battery can be classified into Lithium ion and lithium Polymer. Lithium ion battery uses liquid lithium ion as electrolyte while lithium polymer use solid or gelatin like polymers as electrolyte. Lithium ion batteries have high energy density and cost less than lithium polymer. Lithium polymer batteries are light weight and have improved safety . However their cost is high (30% average) as compared to lithium ion. Also the the energy density of Li-Polymer battery compared to Li-Ion Batteries is quite less. Lithium ion batteries tend to lose charge with ageing even when not us...

What is KC certification? The KC (Korea Certification) certification mark signifies compliance with Korea’s product safety requirements for electrical and electronic equipment and components that utilise power from AC 50-1000V. The KC certification procedure for products includes the following steps: 1. Application - The application process involves the submission of an application form and product description. In addition, the manufacture must obtain a certificate of registration. 2. Factory inspection - Production equipment and processes are inspected and audited for compliance with applicable safety criteria. 3. Product testing - The product is tested consistent with the requirements of the applicable safety standard(s). 4. EMC testing - The product is tested for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and immunity. 5. Post-certification surveillance - Regular factory inspections and market surveillance are required to verify continued compliance following cer...

충전하는 동안 폴리머 리튬 이온 배터리를 사용할 수 있습니까? Posted by batterymanufactory.com

Depends on the battery, the charger, and anything else attached to it. In most cases, for low-energy devices, the answer is yes. You'd be drawing the current from the charger rather than the battery, and the battery ends up being charged slower. There is some risk that you end up messing with the charge cycle. For example charge termination in lithium-ion batteries are often determined when the charge current drops to some pre-defined threshold (e.g. 1/10C) in CV mode. However if you are drawing current, charge termination may not be correctly detected as current consumption is high. This may lead to a small amount of overcharge and extra heat generated and a small loss of battery life on the long term. The actual consequences may be minor and will depend on how the charger behaves and how it handles charge termination. If you are drawing a high current, this may also trigger safety circuits in the charger - for example it may detect the extra current draw a...
