Battery and their autonomy, the breakthrough in smartphones for next year?

During the last years we have witnessed a real technological revolution in the Smartphone market. Increasingly large screens, resolutions of vertigo, processors, and RAM memory; components that could be included in a PC and cameras that are dangerously approaching the result that offers a compact. However, the battery has been one of blackheads of this type of device, a limiting factor because of the imbalance between energy requirements of the device and the autonomy that are capable of providing the current batteries. However, advances and research carried out during the last years seems they will have results in a future immediately, as soon as the coming year.

While the so-called phablet have partly mitigated fear to run out of battery in the middle of the day, the great problem of autonomy is present in a large percentage of smartphones. The manufacturers promise autonomies approximate 24 hours, but the truth is that actual results differ enough about proposed by the theory. This problem has been partly caused by the inability to increase the capacity of storage batteries, and many other technical problems.

Different fronts to achieve the same aim

Indeed, of late we have seen different alternatives to the low density of storage of these components. This adversity seemed the only viable solution would be ultra-fast loading, a method that allows you to extend the battery life for one while longer than acceptable to change connect the smartphone to the mains for approximately half hour. In this respect the most prominent alternative currently runs by Qualcomm and its Quick Charge 2.0, now available on models such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 technology. Fortunately, scientists and companies that want to gain a foothold in the sector yield us pleasant surprises in the face to the year 2016.

For 2016

As we can see in Android Authority, a start-up – SolidEnergy-in collaboration with the MIT has launched a project that promises a breakthrough in the field of autonomy. The secret lies in the use of alternative to those used to date materials and components. The truth is that the proposal is not new, since one of the ways of research in this branch focused some time ago in this practice. However, scientists and engineers have managed to solve some technical problems related to the reaction of materials between the anode and the cathode. And that the use of a thin metal layer and a solid electrolyte have finished with the risk of inflammation, the biggest drawback to date in this kind of alternative batteries. Not only that, but that solution also guarantee up to 100 charge cycles without penalizing the life of the battery, a number that is expected to increase soon to 300 cycles. Greater novelty in this regard, that according to forecasts the evolution developed by SolidEnergy will be ready from 2016, moment in which manufacturers could make use of this new solution.

Concentrated power

But, what does this advance in the autonomy of smartphones? As the graph illustrates, the improvement would be given by the density of the battery. Internal restructuring would store the same load capacity in a smaller displacement. Therefore, with a current battery and SolidEnergy technology would result in a battery of the same size, but more “powerful”. Resulted in terms of autonomy, it would increase the duration of it, something that users have been waiting for for years.

Certainly a solution much more effective and comfortable that carry the charger in your pocket to use fast load, carry extra batteries in your Pocket (in the case that the smartphone will allow its extraction) and even laptop batteries with charging Sockets. Best of all this, the most outstanding is that the idea of SolidEnergy would be available for manufacturers from 2016, a solution that aims to be real and effective to counter the problems of autonomy. Is this the final?
