Mercedes-Benz is developing with graphene-based organic batteries can reduce recycling

Mercedes-Benz companies are developing a decomposable battery that can provide power for electric vehicles in the next 15 to 20 years. The company is responsible for the high-end manager of Battery Research Andreshinntenach, which describes this battery, "similar to the fuel cell". "It is based on graphene, contains aqueous electrolyte.

This is very promising, I have seen it in the laboratory, but it is estimated that at least 15 years of time can be officially produced. "This organic, no metal battery charging speed is also very fast. This new technique is discussed in the 2039 plan for the Mercedes, which involves the company to achieve carbon until 2039.

This includes some key steps that will eventually lead to the "circular battery production" described by Hinntenach, which is the development of new technologies - can re-use existing precious metals and other materials to maintain full carbon neutral Battery and automobile production process. In recent news, Hinntenach speculates that improved existing lithium-ion battery technology "can increase the endurance capacity of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles", but in some cases, a better way is to use improved efficiency To reduce weight, and maintain a similar battery capacity. According to foreign media reports, the organic battery is a "very promising technology", and Mercedes-Benz is working hard to apply it to the future model, but the large-scale mass production of this battery is widely used.

Need 15 years. Mercedes-Benz demonstrated the prospect of the organic battery on the Visionavtr's concept car released earlier this year. This car is not equipped with a steering wheel.

It is carried with three3-to-moving solar panels. It is equipped with 110 kilowatt-based battery packs. Degradable batteries that are non-polluting in the environment, no rare earth and heavy metals.

In addition, the maximum output of 470 horsepower is output, and the endless mileage can reach 700 kilometers. The organic battery is created by graphene-based organic battery chemical materials. This means that it does not use any rare or toxic material or metal, it can be completely recovered through compost.

Early test shows that organic batteries also offer high energy density and fast charging capabilities. Andreashintennach said that solid state battery technology "opened a lot of doors and windows", but he also warned "This is not a magical solution, even though it will be a huge progress. "Andreashintennach added that a major problem with the solid state battery is the length of charging, which makes it not suitable for highway vehicles.

The goal of Mercedes-Benz is to use solid-state lithium batteries on Ecitaro bus after 2025. Other new technologies in Mercedes-Benz are studying include lithium metal anode, lithium sulfur batteries and lithium oxygen batteries. Andreashintennach said they have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of efficiency, density and weight.

He pointed out that different types of batteries may be used in different models, such as lithium sulfur batteries, which are light than lithium-ion batteries, which may make the vehicle equipped with smaller battery packs. When asked and pursue a variety of technologies, Andreashintennach said: "This is very challenging, but you need a novel idea. We need very much attention to the future.

"He said:" The company will indeed risking with low efficiency because of a variety of choices, because all the choices can eventually enter the market. But if you do not advent in research and development, it will eventually fail, but we must keep the road smooth in the future. "Daimler (Mercedes-Benz's parent company) has recently investing 20 billion euros in 9 battery plants all over the world.

These factories are located in Germany, Thailand, China, United States and Poland, will help the company to achieve more direct goals, that is, at least 50% of the car in 2030 is a plug-in hybrid vehicle or a full electric vehicle. Mercedes-Benz is also one of the founding members of the ultra-high velocity ion charging network. Electric driving, Sina car.
