I have read the scientific article and would like to share my opinion about it with you. The article is titled Aluminium-ion battery breakthrough promises one-minute charging and batteries that (almost) never die. The author of the article is Graeme Burton; it was published on the 8th of April 2015 and is still available at http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/2403138/aluminium-ion-battery-breakthrough-promises-one-minute-charging-and-batteries-that-almost-never-die.
The article is written on quite a topical and acute theme as it is concerned with a breakthrough in the field of development of aluminium-ion batteries.
As the title implies the article describes the results of the research conducted at Stanford University claiming aluminium-ion batteries can be fully charged in as little as one minute. It is also emphasized that the abovementioned batteries can be safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries currently used in all modern gadgets.
The author starts by telling us about the advantages of such an attractive material for use in batteries as aluminium because of its low cost, low flammability and high-charge storage capacity. Besides, some information about the design of the battery is provided: it is pointed out that it consists of two electrodes: a negatively charged anode made of aluminium and a positively charged cathode.
A mention should be made that the article contains the comparison of a typical lithium-ion battery that can last for about 1,000 charging cycles, with a newly-developed aluminium one that can withstand more than 7,500 charging cycles without any loss of capacity.
Further on much attention is given to the fact that aluminium-ion batteries could be very suitable for more than just smartphones and laptops, but also for storing renewable energy from solar panels and wind turbines to iron-out their unpredictability.
The article under consideration is of theoretical and practical interest for the specialists in the field of IT, computing, mobile technologies, and energy.
