Found Composites.

Wise labs introducing concept of recycling composites into unwanted used glass. Here is an illustration of a new type battery. Electrode made ​​from a composite of hydrogel and silicon nano-particles Si NP. Each Si NP is encapsulated in a conductive polymer coating surface and connected to a three - dimensional hydrogel framework.
New way to expand into developing structures from this research of technology. As in Stanford university written in there June edition of their journal the nature of communications, Scientists describe a new technique for producing low- cost, silicon - based new batteries as having potential applications for a wide range of electrical devices. Developing a rechargeable lithium- ion batteries with high energy density and long life cycle can be of critical importance. So to address as ever dependency of interactive components - increasing needs for energy storage portable interactive electronic composites, for electric vehicles and other technologies. As this study, has been carried out by professor of chemical engineering at Stanford.

To find some practicals as inexpensive material that's increases the storage capacity of lithium- ion batteries even as a coexist in a printed power of silicon, Bao and her Stanford colleagues turned to silicon - an abundant, environmentally benign element with promising electronic properties. 
A powdery recycled glass they been trying to develop silicon based electrodes for 'high capacity lithium ion batteries for years'. Associate professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford.  Silicon has 10 times the charge storage capacity of carbon, the material used in conventional lithium -ion battery electrodes how to print it so it regenerates to speak. That's The problem is silicon expands and breaks its brittle. Studies have shown that can silicon particles undergo a 400 percent volume expansion when combined with lithium? When the battery is charged or discharged, These bloated particles tend to fracture and lose there electrical contact. To overcome these technical constraints, the Stanford team used a fabrication technique. This is known as all in suite polymerization synthesis that's coats the silicon nano-particles within the conducting hydrogel. Its a new solution as this technique allowed the scientists to create a stable lithium- ion battery. That's saldo result a high storage capacity through 5,000 cycles of charging and allow for discharging. This attribute to the exceptional electro chemical stability of the battery to the unique nano-scale architecture of the silicon - composite Electrode.  As professor Bao said. using a scanning electron microscope, the scientists discovered that's the porous hydrogel matrix is riddled with empty spaces. That's allow the silicon nano-particles to expand when lithium is inserted. This matrix also forms a three - dimensional network that's creates an electronically conducting pathway during your charging and discharging.

As tt turns out that's hydrogel has binding sites that silicon particles latch syringe really well and at the same time provide channels for the fast transport of electrons and lithium ions,  explained Cui , a principal Investigator with the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences.
At the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory stated to wise labs this makes a very powerful combination.  Its a simple mixture of hydrogel and silicone as it proved far less effective than the in suit polymerization synthesis technique . Making the hydrogel first and then mixing it with the silicon particles did not work well. As Bao said.  It required an additional step that's Actually reduced the battery 's performance. With a technique, each silicon nano-particles is encapsulated within a conductive polymer surface coating and is connected to the hydrogel framework. That improves the battery 's overall stability. "Addressing the fire issue Hydrogel consists primarily of water, Which cans cause 'lithium -ion batteries to ignite a potential problem' that's the research team had to address. Told wise labs utilized the three - dimensional network property of the hydrogel in the Electrode, but in the final production phase, the water was removed, " Bao said. " You do not want water inside a lithium- ion battery heat turn hydrogen. Although a number of technical issues jocko , Cui is optimistic about potential commercial applications of the new technique. So to create electrodes made ​​of silicon and other materials last at a fraction of the cost of conventional printed circuit.

As electrode fabrication process used in the study is compatible with existing battery manufacturing technology, he said. Silicon and hydrogel are also inexpensive and widely available.

 Maklumin factors Could Allow high-performance silicon - composite electrodes to be scaled up for manufacturing the next generation of lithium- ion batteries although been in progress since 2007. It's a very simple approach that's led to a very some empowering result and also for wise labs. Former Stanford postdoctoral scholars Hui Wu, now a faculty member at Tsinghua University, of Beijing , and Guihua Yu , now a faculty member at the University of Texas - in Austin , are co -lead authors of the study of these circuitry per say it seem to unlock a key.
