News on October 1, recently, researchers from the University of California, Riverside developed a new battery with raw materials from a mushroom, and claimed that this battery is more durable
than traditional batteries.
It is reported that at present, whether it is an electric vehicle or a mobile phone, it is basically powered by lithium batteries
.
However, the cost of lithium-ion batteries is high, because its anode uses graphite, and the manufacturing process of graphite is not only cumbersome but also causes environmental pollution, and its anode will continue to decay
over time.
The researchers found that using mushrooms as raw materials for batteries is not only cost-effective, but also more durable
than lithium-ion batteries.
To explore the mushroom's potential as an anode material, researchers at the university peeled off the outer skin of the mushroom cap and heated it to 500 degrees Celsius, making it a material
similar to carbon nanoribbons.
It is further heated to 1100 degrees Celsius to turn it into porous carbon nanoribbons, which are very beneficial for providing space for energy storage and conversion – the larger the space for storage and conversion, the more durable
the battery.
Brennan Campbell, one of the researchers on the project, pointed out that with this battery material, the battery life of mobile phones will be greatly improved in the future, especially after activating the activity of the porous carbon architecture, mobile phone batteries will be more durable
