RESEARCHERS FROM BENGALURU DEVELOPED CATHODE BASED BATTERY

* A RESEARCH TEAM LEAD BY DR. ASUTOSH KUMAR SINGH ( Centre For Nano And Soft Matter Sciences ( CeNS) Under DST, Have CAME UP WITH A NEW SIMPLE STRATEGY TO ACTIVATE THE CATHODE MATERIAL BY THERMO ELECTRO CHEMICAL TREATMENT TO MODIFY IT'S STRUCTURE. 

* THIS COULD HELP THE BATTERIES GAIN HIGH ENERGY STORAGE PERFORMANCE.

* A COMMON BATTERY MATERIAL VANADIUM OXIDE ( V2O5) WITH COMBINATION OF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY, TRANSFORMED INTO STRUCTURE 

( THIS NEW IMPERFECT STRUCTURE - ZINC VANADIUM OXIDE ( Zn- V2O5) 

- IT HAS A TINY SPACES AND PATHWAY THAT ALLOWS TO STORE AND RELEASE ENERGY FAR MORE ENERGY EFFICIENTLY COMPARED TO V2O5 

_ THE ZN V2O5 STRUCTURE ALLOWS FOR HYDROGEN  ION INTERACTION FROM THE BATTERY'S ELECTROLTE.
