A South Korea research team discovered a way to make lithium batteries up to 90 percent more efficient than the current lithium batteries available today. The team says that their findings will help notebook and cellphone batteries to last as much as eight times longer than current batteries. They were able to boost efficiency but using three-dimensional porous silicon particles that were made from silica and hydrogen fluoride. Current batteries are made out of graphite in the negative electrodes. They have already but in patents in South Korea, the US and the EU and says that we can see these new batteries to be released in about four years.
