Researchers are working on a lithium air battery that will make electric vehicles as practical as internal combustion
cars are today.

For all the leaps and advances electric vehicles have made in the last
couple of years, they still have a way to go before they become
practical enough or cheap enough to be the typical family car. But IBM
is working on a battery that will put an end to range anxiety, able to
power a vehicle for 500 miles.

IBM researchers at four of the technology giant’s laboratories are testing a lithium air battery. Dubbed the Battery500 Project,
the lithium air batteries swap heavy-metal oxides for carbon, which
reacts with oxygen to create an electrical charge. It’s considered the
holy grail of electric vehicle technology because it offers a
theoretical energy density more than 1,000 times greater than the
typical lithium ion battery you’ll find in a Nissan Leaf. But it’s also
highly unstable.

To make lithium air batteries more stable, researchers tapped the Blue
Gene supercomputer in Zurich to analyze electro-chemical reactions to
find alternative electrolytes that won’t degrade the battery while
recharging, and have identified material that is promising, according to an article in New Scientist.

With several concepts under their belt, IBM expects to reveal a working
prototype of the lithium air battery in 2013. If all goes according to
plan, IBM expects full commercial production of their technology in
2020.

저는 이 컨셉 좀 반대 인데요.

우리가 신경을 별로 안써서 그렇지, 이런식으로 산소를 써버린다면,

생명체들이 점점 살아가기 힘들어 질지도 모를텐데요.

저는 차라리 태양열쪽에 희망을 걸어 봅니다.

써버리는게 아니라, recharge할 때 다시 release 됩니다.
