Hitachi to develop new lithium battery technology capacity increased by 20%

On mobile devices, the use of battery time has been a troubled people a major problem. At present, Hitachi is developing a new generation of lithium-ion battery, small changes can to a certain extent, the extension of an existing compaq battery life. Hitachi's engineers intend to traditional Armada E500 battery in the graphite into a silicon alloy materials, in part not to make any other changes in circumstances, at least the technology can enhance the capacity of conventional batteries 20 percent. At the same time, this material has low thermal expansion coefficient, can reduce the potential for battery overheating and lead to the possibility of an explosion. Hitachi said they also plan to use the Evo N610C battery cathode a special alloy, cobalt, magnesium and nickel produced, it also can increase the effective capacity of the battery. The alloy can reduce the dependence on cobalt, reducing the cost of the battery. Hitachi accordance with the current plan, the silicon alloy in 2009 started the first commercial use, cobalt, magnesium and nickel alloys in the same year will also begin later widely used. Now, lithium batteries in mobile phones and notebook computers and other mobile devices used on a wide range, but Hitachi did not these two innovative lithium laptop batteries market will have to do too much impact the comments.
