HONG KONG, Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium cells
became commercially available close to the 1970s and although the
technology has seen its fair share of improvements, it will soon be
superseded by Fluoride-ion technology in the years to come owing to
the continuous efforts of Hong
Kong battery company, Entech International (H.K.)
Limited.
Fluoride-ion technology implements the use of a Fluorine-based
electrolyte in the presence of adequate electrodes in a structure
similar to that of Lithium-ion batteries however prove more
efficient in terms of the capability to store energy.
Entech International (H.K.) Limited ultimately brought the
research closer to realization the moment they succeeded in their
attempt to create a prototype cell that proved to be functional
under the constraints to a common environment under room
temperature.
Entech International (H.K.) Limited aims to provide three
main areas of specific battery application, also additional
industry uses. Within the electronic vehicle industry, the company
has stated it will manufacture vehicle battery packs capable
of up to 2000km per single charge in the near future.
"The use of Fluoride-ions have certain desirable characteristics
when concerning essential battery requirements that include
favorable voltage, as well as the capacity of the cell in general,
that amount to essentials for any battery," commented Zhuan Xinyi,
Chief Technology Officer at Entech International (H.K.)
Limited.
Viewing Fluorine from a charge based perspective, its negative
nature can be observed when taken in comparison to lithium ions
that are positively charged. Benefiting from the fundamental nature
of fluorine, the battery capacity can be increased using
fluorine-ion technology for battery capacity and life can be
defined by the amount of ions that are moved.
In that respect, negatively charged particles or anions can be
moved with relatively less effort as compared to cations, thus, the
creation of batteries that have higher energy densities than
Lithium-ion batteries become possible.
The cell developed is capable of improved performance (both in
terms of discharge and recharge capabilities) over traditional
lithium ion-based cell solutions, and fluoride-based batteries may
soon supersede lithium-based batteries as the new standard for
commercial-grade batteries.
