Emkhakheni osheshayo wokugcina amandla, ukuvela kobuchwepheshe obuphambili bamabhethri kuveze imingcele emisha yokwakha nokusebenza kahle. Phakathi kwalezi zinqwaba, ukuthuthukiswa kwamabhethri akhiwe kuvele njengokuguqula umdlalo. Ngokwehlukile kumabhethri ajwayelekile, amabhethri akhiwe ahlanganisa amandla okugcina ngqo esakhiweni somzimba wezinto, anikeza ukusebenza okuningi okwandisa kakhulu ukusebenza kahle ngenkathi kunciphisa isisindo nobukhulu. Le ndatshana ibheka ucwaningo oluphambili nezici zamabhethri akhiwe, ihlola amandla awo aguqulayo ezinhlelweni ezahlukene ezifana nezimoto zikagesi, ama-e-bhajethi, ama-satellites, kanye namalaptop. Siphinde sigcizelele izigaba ezibalulekile ezitholwe yizikhungo ezihamba phambili ezifana neChalmers University kanye neKTH Royal Institute of Technology, nokuthi izinkampani ezifana ne-EBAK zikhona kanjani ukuze zisebenze futhi zibe nomthelela kulezi zintuthuko.

Ibhethri yesakhiwo iyithuluzi elisha lokugcina amandla elihloselwe ukuhlinzeka ngezinjongo ezimbili: ukugcina amandla kagesi nokuhlinzeka ngokuqina kwemishini. Ngokwehlukile kumabhethri ajwayelekile, avame ukuhlala ngokwehlukana nezakhiwo zomshini, amabhethri esakhiwo ashintsha noma engeza lezi zinto, ngaleyo ndlela athuthukisa isikhala futhi anciphise isisindo sonke. Le nhlanganisela ikakhulukazi iyasiza ezinhlelweni lapho izithiyo zesisindo nobukhulu zibalulekile, njengemboni yezindiza nezimoto.

Amabhethri e-lithium-ion ajwayelekile, nakuba esebenza kahle, engeza ubukhulu obukhulu nesisindo kumadivayisi, okunciphisa ukuhlela kokwakha nokusebenza kahle. Amabhethri ezakhiwo, nokho, asebenzisa izinto ezihlanganisiwe nezimboni advanced ukuze afake ukugcina amandla ngaphakathi kwezingxenye ezithwala umthwalo, njengezikhala zemoto noma amaphaneli ezindiza. Le multifunctionality ithuthukisa ubukhulu bamandla nokumelana kwemishini ngesikhathi esifanayo, ibonisa intuthuko ebalulekile kubuchwepheshe bamabhethri.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, amabhethri ezakhiwo anikeza izinzuzo zokuphepha ngokunciphisa inani lezingxenye ezihlukene nezixhumi, ezingaba nezindawo zokwehluleka ezingenzeka. Ikhono lawo lokuhlanganisa amandla nokugcina amandla luphikisa izimiso zokwakha ezijwayelekile futhi luhlinzeka ngendlela yokwakha imikhiqizo elula, ephephile, futhi esebenza kahle kakhulu esikhathini esizayo.

Ucwaningo olusha oluphumelele oluholwa amaqembu eChalmers University of Technology kanye neKTH Royal Institute of Technology luphakamisile ubuchwepheshe bezinhlaka zamabhethri emqondweni. Laba bacwaningi bakhe ama-prototype akhombisa ukusebenza okuhle kakhulu okudlula ubuchwepheshe bamabhethri abaningi bamanje uma kuqhathaniswa nobukhulu bamandla kanye nokumelana nezimo zomzimba.

Umlando wokuthuthukiswa kwamabhethri akhiwe ube kancane kancane, lapho imibono yokuqala igxile ekufakeni amabhethri phakathi kwezinto ezihlanganisiwe. Intuthuko yakamuva ithuthukisile le mbono ngokuthuthukisa izakhiwo ze-electrochemical kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwemishini kwamabhethri, kufinyelela ekugcineni amandla aphezulu ngaphandle kokuphula ubuqotho bokwakhiwa. Le miphumela yocwaningo ibonise ukuthi amabhethri akhiwe angagcina amandla kagesi abalulekile ngenkathi ephatha imithwalo yemishini, okuyimpumelelo emangalisayo kwesayensi yezinto zamandla.

Ukubambisana phakathi kweChalmers neKTH kuholele ekuthuthukisweni kwezakhiwo zebhethri ezisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-nanotechnology kanye nezinto eziphilayo eziqinile, kuthuthukisa kokubili ukuphepha nokuphila isikhathi eside. Umsebenzi wabo uhambisana nezitayela zomhlaba jikelele zokuthuthukisa izinketho eziphephile kunezibhethri ze-lithium-ion ezivamile, ezifana nezibhethri ezisebenza ngokuqinile nezibhethri ze-lithium sulfur, ezithembisa amandla aphezulu nokuncipha kokushisa.

Enye yezinzuzo ezikhangayo kakhulu zamabhethri akhiwe yikhono lawo eliphezulu lokugcina amandla uma kuqhathaniswa namaphakheji wamabhethri ajwayelekile. Ngokuhlanganisa ibhethri ngqo ezicini zokwakha, lawa mabhethri anciphisa isisindo esiphindaphindiwe sokwakhiwa nezisekelo, okwandisa kahle ukugcina amandla okusetshenziswa ngesisindo esisodwa. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ezimotweni zikagesi nasezisetshenziswayo eziphathwayo, lapho wonke igremu elisindisiwe liholela ekusebenzeni okungcono nasekutholeni isikhathi eside sokusebenza.

Ukuphepha kuyisici esibalulekile esithuthukiswe ngamabhethri akhiwe. Ukusetshenziswa kwe-electrolytes eziqinile kanye nezinto ezihlanganisiwe ezithuthukisiwe kunciphisa ingozi yokushisa okuphakeme, okukhathazayo kakhulu ezimotweni zamabhethri e-lithium-ion ajwayelekile. Lezi zinguquko zifaka isandla kumasistimu wamabhethri aphephile angaphansi kokushisa kakhulu noma ukuvutha.

Imiphumela yokuphakama ibalulekile emkhakheni wezokuthutha nezindiza. Amabhethri akhiwe anciphisa isisindo esiphelele sezimoto nezinsiza, kuholela ezingeni elingcono lokusebenza njengezinga eliphezulu, ibanga elide, noma amandla aphezulu okuthwala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuqinisa okunikezwa izingxenye zebhethri ezakhiwe kuthuthukisa ukuqina kwemikhiqizo, kungenzeka kwandise impilo yayo nokwethembeka ngaphansi kwengcindezi.

Ubuhlakani be-structural battery technology buvumela izinhlelo eziningi zokusebenza. Emithonjeni kagesi (EVs), ukuhlanganiswa kwe-structural batteries ezicini ze-chassis kunganciphisa kakhulu isisindo, kuthuthukise ibanga lokuhamba kanye nokusebenza kahle kwamandla. Le noveli iyahambisana nezinyathelo ezithathwe yizinkampani ezifana ne-Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), egxile kumasistimu ebhathri aphezulu wokusebenza kwe-EVs.

Ama-e-bikes nawo azothola inzuzo enkulu, njengoba amafremu alula anokugcina amandla ahlanganisiwe angathuthukisa ukuhamba kahle nokuphila kwebhathri. Ezinhlelweni ze-aerospace ezifana nezinsizakusebenza, ama-structural batteries anikeza inzuzo ephindwe kabili yokugcina amandla nokwesekwa kwesakhiwo, okubalulekile ezindaweni ezibucayi ngesikhala. Ubukhulu bawo obuphezulu bamandla nezici zokuphepha zenze kube kuhle kakhulu kumasathelayithi lapho isikhala nokwethembeka kubalulekile.

Izinsiza ezihambayo, kuhlanganise namakhompyutha aphathekayo nezinsiza ezihambayo, zingase zisebenzise usayizi ophansi nesisindo esinikezwa amabhethri akhiwe ukuze zifeze impilo yebhethri ende ngaphandle kokwandisa ubukhulu bezinsiza. Le teknoloji iphinde ihambisane kahle nezinhloso zezimali ezivuselelekayo ngokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokugcina amandla nokusetshenziswa kwezinhlobo ezahlukene zezinsiza.

Ubuchwepheshe bezinhlaka zamabhethri bumele ukuguqulwa okukhulu emkhakheni wokugcina amandla, buhlanganisa amandla omzimba nokugcina amandla kagesi endaweni eyodwa enezinhloso eziningi. Ngokuthuthukisa ubukhulu bamandla, ukusebenza kahle kokuphatha, nokuphepha, amabhethri ezakhiwo azoshintsha imboni kusukela ezimoto kuya emkhakheni wezindiza kanye nezinto zokusetshenziswa zabathengi.

Izikhungo ezifana ne-EBAK, ezikhethekile ezixazululweni ze-lithium-ion ezithuthukisiwe, zikhona kahle ukuze zisebenzise lezi zinguquko ngokuhlanganisa ukuthuthuka kwezakhiwo zamabhethri emikhiqizweni yazo, kuthuthukisa ukusebenza nokwethembeka kwemikhiqizo yazo. Kubantu beshishini nabacwaningi, ukuqhubeka kokuhlola nokuthuthukisa amabhethri ezakhiwo kubonisa ithemba lokufeza izixazululo zamandla ezinzile, ezisebenzayo, neziphephile.

Ucwaningo olwandulele luyadingeka ukuze kudlulelwe ezinselelweni zamanje ekukhiqizeni ukujula nokunciphisa izindleko. Nokho, ukuhlanganiswa phakathi kwezinto ezakhiwe nezimboni zamabhethri kubonisa ikusasa lapho ukugcina amandla kuhlanganiswe kahle nempahla yezinsiza nezimoto.

Ukwenza izinto ezintsha zamabhethri ezakhiwe kuhlangene nezinye izinto eziphambili emkhakheni wamandla ezifana namabhethri e-solid-state, amabhethri e-lithium sulfur, kanye nemikhiqizo ethuthukiswe yi-CATL. Ngasinye salezi zinto zihlola ukuthuthukisa ubunzima bamandla, ukuphepha, nokusimama, kuholela ekushintsheni kokukhanya okuphindwayo kanye nokuhamba kukagesi.

Izinkampani ezifana ne-EBAK zibalulekile kulolu hlelo ngokuhlinzeka ngama-bhethri e-lithium-ion aphezulu, aphumelelayo, ahloselwe izinhlelo ezahlukene ezifaka phakathi amathuluzi kagesi, ama-e-bikes, ama-AGVs, ama-EVs, kanye nezinhlelo zokugcina amandla. Ukuze uhlole kabanzi ngesisombululo se-EBAK nokuthi zihambisana kanjani nalezi zinto eziguqulayo, vakashela Mayelana Nathi ikhasi.

Kwabezindaba abanentshisekelo emikhiqizweni ye-bhethri ethuthukisiwe esebenzisa lezi zindlela zobuchwepheshe, ikhasi le-Imikhiqizo linikeza ulwazi olunembile ngama-bhethri e-lithium-ion amasha. Ukuze ufunde ukuthi i-EBAK iletha kanjani izixazululo zamandla ezithembekile egxile ekwakheni nasekuthuthukiseni, vakashela Ikhaya ikhasi liyakweluleka.

Ngokuphathelene nezicelo nolwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nokubambisana nokuhlanganiswa kobuchwepheshe, iOxhumana nabo ikhasi linikeza iziteshi zokuxhumana ngqo nochwepheshe be-EBAK.
