Research on Cell Phone Batteries

INTRODUCTION
What does a battery means to you???

According to Tracy s. Morris, batteries are device that generate electricity


by harvesting electrons from a cell filled with electrolyte material.
 The batteries have its own lifespan according to the chemicals used in it.
 It affects the qualities of calls and also the recharging time.

Cell phones use secondary type batteries which can be
rechargeable.

YES,,
Conventional enough…
But,, it gets warm after a quite long hours of recharging.

Thus, the research is to produce a new design of a battery that can


gives the benefits to users.

How????
Do you know your cell phone batteries type??
 Now,,let’s see this 2 types of cell phone batteries :

Chemical substance advantages disadvantages


used
Lithium-ion  current and most  expensive.
popular technology.  may be damage by
 slightly lighter. extensive
 longer lifetime. overcharging.

Nickel-Base  rechargeable battery  must be completely


(nickel cadmium) most familiar with. discharge before
 cheapest variety of recharging or else
cell phone batteries. damage can be occur.
 chemical used are
not environmentally
friendly.
Ahaks!
Let me share some ways to UPGRADE the batteries time usage…..

First, determine what type of batteries you are using. Then, you must
provide necessary maintenance to it in order to maximize its life and
usefulness.
 Second, initialize the new batteries. It comes in discharged condition
and need to be fully charge before use. Approximately charge 16 hours
for nickel-base batteries and 5 to 6 hours for lithium-ion batteries.
 Third, you need to know your batteries condition. Failure to discharge
nickel-base batteries will result in ‘memory effect’ and shorten the
batteries life.
 Fourth, store the batteries properly. If your battery will be out of use for
a while, disconnect it from the phone.
The New Idea of Upgrading The Conductivity of Batteries

PLASTICIZATION

 is a substance to increase its flexibility and workability. It may reduce


the melt viscosity, or lower the elastic modulus of the products.

 Example of plasticizer that be used:


• Poly(ethylene glycol)
• Ethylene carbonate
• Lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3) salt solution

good plasticizer must consist following properties:


• Dielectric constant should be higher than the host polymer
• Good miscibility with polymer
• Low volatility
• High boiling temperature
Surveys
o This research involved 50 respondents of UTeM students.

o They are multi-race and all aged between 19 to 21 years


old.
o However, due to lack of quality time with the respondents,
the researchers comes to have lease returning
questionnaire.

CONCLUSION

 The most significant findings of this research was that -- the idea of a

new cell phone batteries with addition of plasticizer in lithium solution.


 this new combination was believed to be more durable and long
lasting use of cell phone batteries as it produces higher conductivity of
electric.
 This was brought about by the characteristic of the plasticizer itself.
It is a substance with high conductivity of electric, high boiling
temperature to prevent from overheating, and has low volatility to resist
to make it last longer.
