The battery of electronic items will be charged within minutes.

New Delhi. While using an electronic device, there is always tension regarding its charging. The battery can drain at any time while on the road. Sometimes while going out somewhere, we see that the battery of a mobile, laptop, smartwatch or electric car is discharged, and it may take hours to charge it. But this worry of yours may end very soon. This is because soon this time is going to change to minutes instead of hours, and this is not what we or the researchers are saying.

In fact, IIT Gandhi and Japan Advanced Institute of Science & Technology together have created a miracle. IIT Gandhinagar has done research and discovered a new anode material, which charges lithium ion batteries in minutes.

The 2D anode material is made using nano sheets derived from titanium diboride. It is a multi-stacked sandwich-like material, which is present between layers of metal atoms boron. On this, CNBC Awaaz correspondent Ketan Joshi had a special conversation with the head of the research team and found out how this happened.

This is how the miracle happened
IIT Gandhinagar Professor Kabir D’Souza said that currently the anode material of lithium ion battery is made from graphite. There are no holes on the graphite layer, due to which its charging takes time. The materials used to charge lithium batteries are commonly called anodes. But the anode material is made from diboride, which is capable of charging the battery in minutes.

With this new technology, every device can be charged in a few minutes, where it used to take hours. From mobiles to laptops, smart watches and electric cars, they will now take less time for charging.

New technology expected to arrive in India soon
Professor Kabir said that ‘We have sent proposals to some battery manufacturing companies for the manufacture of batteries. In future, such batteries will be manufactured in India itself which will be capable of being charged within minutes. These indigenous batteries will not only be used in India but can also be manufactured in other countries.
