Anglo American nePlatinum Group yakatanga LionBatteryTechnologies neFlorida International University (Florida International University) gore rakapera, uye vakawana marezenisi eUS pakushandiswa kwesimbi dzeboka replatinamu uye kabhoni nanotubes. Takataura neShumba kuti tidzidze zvakawanda pamusoro pechirongwa ichi pamwe nekukosha kwekudyara mari mumaindasitiri matsva kana kuwedzera simbi dzavanochera.

Platinum boka simbi dzagara dzichionekwa sevanogona kushandura zvirongwa zvebudiriro, kunyanya muminda yekudzora emission uye rimwe simba. Kushandisa yavo catalytic zvivakwa kuvandudza kushanda kwebhatiri inhanho yakakosha kumberi kumotokari dzemagetsi uye inovhura musuwo wehupenyu hurefu hwebhatiri, kwete chekufambisa chete. Kunyangwe pfungwa iyi isati yatengeswa, Shumba Battery Technology inotenda kuti yava kusvika.

Iko mubatanidzwa wakavambwa muna 2019 kutsigira basa raDr. Bilal el-Zahab. Bilal el-Zahab, mubatsiri purofesa wemakanika uye engineering yemidziyo paFlorida International University (FIU), anga achidzidza mabhenefiti ekuwedzera masimbi eboka replatinamu kune tekinoroji yebhatiri. Kunyanya, Dr. El Zahab akawana kuti kana boka replatinum simbi palladium neplatinum yakawedzerwa, kushanda kwezvose zviri zviviri lithium-oxygen mabhatiri uye lithiamu-sulfuri mabhatiri anovandudzwa, nokudaro kuwedzera simba remagetsi uye kushandiswazve kwemabhatiri. Iwo achangoburwa patents akawedzera mafuta kumoto, uye chirongwa ichi chinotarisirwa kunge chiri pamusika munguva pfupi iri kutevera, zvichiita kuti platinamu boka simbi ive kumusoro muindasitiri yebhatiri. Muhurukuro naR. Michael Jones, CEO wePlatinum Group, akataura kuti makore maviri apfuura, mamiriro ezvinhu emazuva ano emagetsi ebheteri akanga asina kukwana zvakakwana kuti aite zvinodiwa nenyika inokurumidza kuchinja. Iye akati: “Mabhatiri enharembozha achachembera mushure megore rekuchaja nekuburitsa.” “Mabhatiri emotokari dzemagetsi akachena anorema makirogiramu anodarika mazana matatu, asi mafambiro acho achiri dambudziko.

Nyika yemazuva ano yakashanduka kubva kune bhatiri-powered tochi mumaoko emadzitateguru edu.

“Kunyangwe mabhatiri e-lithium achigona kutsanangurwa semhando yebhatiri yekuchinja, mamodhi aripo ane hupenyu hupfupi hwebhatiri uye kupisa-kuwedzera pakuchaja, basa raDr. El Zahab rinoedzawo kugadzirisa matambudziko aya.” Jones Akawedzera kuti: “Mabhatiri eLithium emazuva ano akanaka uye ari kuvandudzwa, asi haasiriwo atinoda.” Lithium ingangove inokunda bhatiri, nekuti rakareruka uye rine maerekitironi akawanda ekushandisa, saka rine zvinhu zvakanaka zvemagetsi. Asi kune mamwe makemikari emakemikari anogona kuvandudza bhatiri kana yawedzerwa kune yayo yemukati kemikari.

“Kunyangwe platinum nepalladium pari zvino zviri kudiwa zvakanyanya mumagetsi anoshandura emota dzine peturu, kugona kwavo kunozivikanwa kuita sezvinokonzeresa nekugadzirisa mafuta kunoreva kuti vanovandudza kushanda kwebhatiri vachichengetedza mari nemitengo yezvakatipoteredza mukuita. Good candidate materials. Kunyange zvazvo mabhatiri e-lithium-air aripo uye mabhatiri e-lithium-sulfide anogona kuva ane simba guru, nhoroondo yakaratidza kuti kugadzirisa zvakare idambudziko. Dr. El Zahab neboka rake revatanhatu nanomaterials nyanzvi, pamwe chete nebhatiri postdoctoral team, vakaratidza Platinum boka masimbi kwete chete kubatsira kukurudzira mhinduro, asiwo kunatsiridza kuchaja-discharge cycle. Kuti uone kushanda kwezvinhu izvi mubhatiri, boka racho rakamhanya “mazana” emabhatiri ekuedza, akacherechedza maitiro avo zuva rega rega, uye akagadzirisa maitiro avo Uye masimbi eboka replatinum kuti awane kushanda kwakanakisisa.

Chii chinotevera? Basa pabhatiri idzva riri kufambira mberi zvakanaka. Chikwata cheFIU chakapedza gore rekutanga rekutsvaga uye vakapasa yavo yekutanga yehunyanzvi chiitiko. Patent iyi budiriro huru yepurojekiti inonzi “Cathode Battery With Improved Stability” uye inosanganisira kushandiswa kwehunyanzvi hwekuita senge carbon nanotubes mumabhatiri e lithium. Semubairo kuFIU, yunivhesiti yakasaina chibvumirano chekutsvagisa uye patent yekutsigira neShumba.

Jones akati: “Chinangwa chedu kutora mukana wehunyanzvi hwekugadzira-chete tichityaira kudiwa kwesimbi dzeboka replatinamu. Iyi yekutanga patent mvumo ndiyo yekutanga yakakosha chiitiko muchinangwa ichi. ” Jones anotenda kuti sezvo vanhu vakawanda vanotanga kugadzirisa grid kuti vabvise zvipingamupinyi zvekugamuchirwa kwakapararira kwemotokari dzemagetsi. Musika wekudhura, wakareruka, uye ane simba mabhatiri e-lithium anokura. Kuve nechokwadi chekugadziriswazve kwave chinhu chakakosha kuvanhu vazhinji.

Mabhatiri matsva aya anotarisirwa kushandiswa zvakanyanya mumagetsi nezvimwe. “Mabhatiri chikamu chemichina yemazuva ano, asi kana iwe ukakwanisa kuwedzera kushanda kwebheteri katatu kusvika kashanu, ichaita kuti motokari dzemagetsi nemichina zvive nani,” akadaro Jones. “Kunyangwe zvichitora makore matatu kusvika mashanu kuunza hutsva mumabhatiri ekutengesa, mukana wakakura.” Kunyange zvazvo kushandiswa kwesimbi dzeplatinum kungawedzera mutengo wemabhatiri, Jones akati kushanda kwepamusoro kwemabhatiri kunotarisirwa kudzikamisa mutengo zvishoma. Kufurira. “Platinamu boka resimbi yakanaka yemakemikari catalysts, uye nokuda kwechikonzero ichi, takavashandisa mumapombi emagetsi emotokari kuchenesa gasi rinopera,” akadaro Jones.

“Cathode yebhatiri yakareruka uye ine simba kupfuura bhatiri razvino, izvo zvinoita kuti bhatiri rive nesimba uye hupenyu hurefu kupfuura tekinoroji iripo.” Kunyangwe iyi tekinoroji isati yanyatso gadzirwa, timu yekutsvagisa yakasimbisa kuti cathode ine gumi Kusvika gumi nemaviri magiramu eplatinamu-yakavakirwa simbi kabhoni nanotubes, unogona kuona yakakosha kuita uye uremu reshiyo zvakanakira. Jones akati huremu hwekambani hunorema 10 kg ye lithium-air mabhatiri uye 12 kg yemabhatiri e-lithium-sarufa.

Zvimwe zvikumbiro zvepatent zvakaendeswa, uye tarisiro yekutengeserana yepurojekiti mumakore mashoma anotevera ine tarisiro. “Tiri kukurukura hunyanzvi hwedu nevagadziri vebhatiri,” akadaro Jones. Isu takapfuura zviitiko zvehunyanzvi zvegore rekutanga uye tinotarisirwa kuzadzisa zvinangwa zvegore rechipiri pamberi pechirongwa. “Tinofara zvikuru kuti pfungwa iyi inoratidza kuti masimbi eboka replatinamu anogona kuita basa rakakosha mukuvandudza bhatiri rinotevera.” Asi izvo, AngloAmericanPlatinum yakazivisa muna 2019 kuti purofiti yayo yakawedzera zvakapetwa kaviri kubva pagore rapfuura nekuda kwekuwedzera kwemutengo weplatinamu simbi. , Iyo inoratidza mikana iripo mune ino indasitiri iri kusimukira.
