Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden say the material it is made from is sturdy enough to serve as a load-bearing structure. It is being billed as the \u201cworld\u2019s strongest battery\u201d and they claim it could be integrated into the design of a vehicle to reduce weight and increase range.<\/p>\n<p>The properties of the structural battery mean it could be used in a wide variety of different situations, according to the researchers. This includes \u201ccredit card-thin\u201d mobile phones or laptops half the weight they are today, Professor Leif Asp, lead researcher from Chalmers University of Technology. But, he adds, the team has also noticed a great deal of interest from the automotive and aerospace industries. One of the biggest challenges in electric aviation is balancing the energy density of a battery power source. Battery energy on average is more than 40 times heavier than jet fuel. These batteries also need to be packed into relatively small spaces.<\/p>\n<p>A lightweight structural battery that can provide enough energy could be built into the object it is powering, solving many of these issues. But critics say this makes batteries incredibly difficult to replace later down the line as they are integral to the construction. The team at Chalmers University of Technology claim they could also reduce the amount of energy required to run an electric car. \u201cIt could also be that components such as electronics in cars or planes are powered by structural batteries. It will require large investments to meet the transport industry\u2019s challenging energy needs, but this is also where the technology could make the most difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/09\/12\/credit-card-thin-phones-and-electric-planes-swedish-scientists-make-battery-tech-breakthro\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-589\/\">\u2018Credit card-thin\u2019 phones and electric planes: Swedish scientists make battery tech breakthrough<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[835,16087,575,2050],"class_list":["post-133713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-battery","tag-chalmers","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-research"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133713\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
