Bionic research promotes the development of "smart" battery separators to significantly increase charging efficiency

A team of researchers from the Ohio State University (OSU) applied a study on the membrane structure of human biological cells to develop a “smart” battery separator that can effectively reduce the charge infiltration, which can increase the charging rate and prolong the storage of electricity. Duration (reducing self-discharge) increases battery safety in electric vehicles. The utility model solves the problem that the traditional battery separator can make the charge easily permeate the separator when charging, thereby reducing the energy efficiency and the service life of the battery, and easily causing the problem of heat generation.

Traditional battery design has always been unable to avoid self-discharge phenomenon, OSU's team is mimicking the structure of the human cell membrane, the human cell membrane can respond accordingly to the electronic stimulus and close the pores. The studied excess was named "ionic redox transistor" - a polymer membrane with multiple openable micropores that opened micropores when contracted and closed micropores when opened. The researchers said that the experimental results of this new battery separator can reduce the charge loss rate to zero, and will not have any effect on the normal charge and discharge function of the battery.

Smart Battery Membrane can also improve the charging efficiency. According to the analysis of the research team, charging about every minute in a traditional electric or hybrid vehicle can only bring less than 0.8 kilometers (half mile) mileage, while the application of "ionized redox transistor" (Ionic redox transistor) After the new technology, charging can provide tens of kilometers of mileage every minute. The increase is very obvious, according to Dr. Sundaresan in the research team, saying that for daily commuting, though, one night's garage charging time will be able to cope. However, for long-distance travel, if electric vehicles are to be popularized, they must solve the problem of fast charging. They believe that the research on this new technology will make it possible for electric vehicles to realize fast charging and long-distance life.
