Almost all of the major automakers are SLOTturning to producing cars of the future. That is, electric and hybrid cars. But almost all brands of electric cars still have disadvantages. That is, the power is charged each time, enough to use for a distance of more than 300 kilometers only.
Now, a team of researchers in England at the University of Warwick is working on a new technology that may address the limitation of electric vehicle batteries. And this technology is gaining a lot of attention.
Mark Amor-Segan, a researcher at the University of Warwick, said many clients came in and inquired about the technology the team is developing. Since the sports car manufacturing company is very extreme Until the general use car manufacturers, whether it is Jaguar or Landrover and Nissan car manufacturers
He said it can be seen that there are many different types of customers. This means that there will be different needs. Affect the testing and qualification as required by the customer.
This team of researchers in the UK is developing different energy cells or fuel cells according to their needs. By using a special coating chemical that the team called "Ink" or ink.
Dr. Emma Kendrik, of the University of Warwick, said that the developing specialty chemicals have a thick consistency. Reflecting and homogeneous, easy to pour, which, when applied to coat the required material sheet in the lower laboratory Will get an electrode that is consistent
Dr. Marcus Jahn, a research team member at the University of Warwick, said the team would coat the ink onto the foil. And let it hang After that, it is put into an extruder to make it evenly smooth. And at this stage The team was able to decide whether to adjust the levels of the energy cells. And whether you want to travel long distances or if you want to get to your destination quickly
In the second step It is the application of hydrogen energy cell technology to be used in conjunction with electric vehicle systems.
Mark Amor-Segan, a researcher at the University of Warwick, said in the future, electric vehicle technology with electric batteries will be integrated into hydrogen cell technology. That will serve as a helping to charge the car's battery that is almost used up. Without polluting the environment
The integration of these two technologies is still in the planning stage. In the end The team's goal is to develop electric vehicle batteries that don't even need to be plugged in to charge. Because the hydrogen energy cell system used in conjunction with will help to charge the battery in the car while driving.
This team of British researchers said: All electric cars in conjunction with this energy cell system It still takes several years to develop. But, they say, the end of the use of internal combustion engines is approaching.
