Exclusive Li-ion Batteries Will Come With Reversible Phase Change Feature

Have you ever wondered what if you can use a material over and over without deteriorating its original performance? The phase transformation approach has made it possible. This is considered as one of the most crucial and distinctive features as the material’s ability to transform into different phases and holding its properties. In the recent theory research, the researchers have accomplished success in developing reversible phase batteries with an additional stretch to their structure. This phase transformation would enhance the inward and outflow of Li-ions across the battery circuit, thereby making energy storage an unheard experience.

Ananya Renuka-Balakrishna being the research head demonstrates the circuit of widely used Li-ion battery in the article published in the Journal of Mechanics and Physics of Solids. The entrance and exit of the ions across the circuit results in the shift of volume in micrograms, creating defects in the crystal lattice structure, and deteriorating the battery. This deterioration reduces the battery life and eventually, the user has to replace it.

To increase the battery life, Zhang and his team tried to develop a superior material for the electrodes that can withstand the volume shift and can be used for a long time without being deteriorated. A phase shift of the battery starts just after the physical structure of the material in the battery changes. He also explained that phase transformation has to be controlled in order to prevent the deterioration of the battery. Now, the major concern of the team was to find a feasible approach to inhibit this phase transformation. Finally, the researchers succeeded in changing the overall structure of the material by increasing the stress resistance of material.

Now, the researchers are trying to avoid the use of liquid inflammable electrolytes in the Li-ion batteries. They are trying to make the model as minimal as possible because the complexity in the lattice structure would lead to obstruction in the flow of ions and this might plunge the overall performance of the battery.
