Informative Speech On Battery

Nowadays many of our electronics like your phone*, your laptop*, your wireless devices* are all portable due to a power source invented in the 1800s. In 1749 the first used the term "battery" to describe a set of linked capacitors. Now we refer the term battery to the battery in our phones or the batteries for our Xbox controllers. * Maybe some of you know some form of batteries like LIPO or Lithium or Sodium sulfur. Today I will give you a brief idea about these batteries but they are someone else’s presentation. But before I start here are 2 terms you must know. * In the diode, electrons go from anode to cathode where the anode is positively charged semiconductor, and the cathode is negatively charged semiconductor. In a battery, electrons

Maybe some of you know what happens when you stab a lithium battery, well it catches fire at 1200 kelvin and has the potential to explode. Well this doesn’t happen with aluminum batteries they only heat up by 3 Celsius before they stop working. Aluminum in batteries is very common but now people have managed to create a battery that uses aluminum and graphite as the anode and the cathode, for decades researches have been trying to develop a new battery with aluminum that has a voltage high enough and keeping this voltage after repeated cycles of charging and discharging. They don’t harm the environment as much because it makes up 8% of the earths crust’s mass.* This doesn’t sound as much but look at this graph. It says abundance in the earths curst or elements per 10 to the power of 6 atoms of Silicone. So I did some further research and the amount only by the US in 1995 was 3.6 million metric tons of aluminum.

As I already told you they use carbon as graphite and aluminum as a cathode and anode.* So how do they work? They basically work the same just that they use Aluminum tetrachloride instead of lithium and have an ionic liquid of Aluminum chloride for electrolyte. And the process for creating charge is the same just with different materials.* How can they help society? Well because they don’t catch fire batteries will cause less fires and perhaps deaths when aluminum batteries become mainstream. Because aluminum is more abundant than lithium aluminum is more sustainable than lithium and aluminum can also be recycled. Aluminum ion batteries also charge incredibly fast so that people have time for other things, like the thing about washing machine what we learned about in humanities. Because they charge faster electric cars wont take hours to charge they will take minutes to charge just as fast as refueling a car. *Where and how can they be applied to everyday life? Well things that run on batteries in daily life can use these batteries.
