Give me a lever, I could lift you out of the earth…

 Research breakthroughs to make solar battery can be used outside the production of silicon element. Scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles, said the results could significantly reduce the prices of solar energy.

Solar companies have been looking for efficiency and low cost of raw materials consumed less material than silicon. But for copper, indium, gallium compounds of selenium (CIGS) and material tests so far have not found a suitable Dell Inspiron 1300 battery, Dell Inspiron 1501 battery material.

William Hou University of California at Los Angeles for graduate engineering students, he said in a newspaper: “Human beings have a conversion efficiency of solar energy to 20%, but the high cost of current treatment methods so that production costs are too high, and current rates difficult to create competition. ”

Hou and his colleagues copper indium selenide solar cells cost, methods of effective treatment for this result was published in the week “solid films” magazine. They said that these batteries can be mass produced in the future and applied to many fields, such as mounted on backpacks or clothes.

Hou said: “With our new solution method, can easily reach 20% conversion efficiency and cost of production significantly decreased.”

Currently, researchers conducted 16 months of this project was the conversion efficiency of 9.13%, reaching 15% or 20% efficiency targets for conversion to be optimistic.

University of California at Los Angeles engineering professor Yang Yang led the research team, said: “16 months ago, we began to study from scratch, using a period of three or four months for material to reach 1% conversion efficiency, conversion efficiency today about 9%, with an average of about every two months increased 1%. ”

Most of CIGS solar cells produced using a total evaporation technique, you need to vacuum under the conditions, tedious and expensive. In the vacuum, the element is heated and deposited on the surface of cells.

The UCLA research team that invented the copper-selenide Indium (CIS) solar cells do not require a process of vacuum evaporation. Instead, they will be dissolved in the liquid material to adhere to the surface and cook. In the liquid, solar energy absorbing layer (using copper, indium, selenium, or CIGS materials, production, essential to the performance of solar cells) can be easily brush plated battery or chip.

Hou said: “In our approach, dissolved the benefits of technology is that it can continuously carry out the liquidation of production type, which is a significant cost breakthrough.

Yang said the technology can be achieved within three to four years in Dell Inspiron 1520 battery, Dell Inspiron 1525 battery business.

Mr. Yang also said: “In order to improve the performance of solar cells and efficiency at the same time, we also seek to work with industry to enable the continued development of technology.”

Industry experts say, because the battery technology is not perfect enough, electric cars from China in 2012 is unlikely to enter the stage of commercial production.

      Despite more than 50 cell manufacturers in China have added to the development of the battery of new energy vehicles in the past, but these batteries are still too expensive and the quality is not reliable enough problems. The most advanced technology of the battery is still the key to control in Japan and other foreign manufacturers.

      China Automotive Technology and Research Center, Chang Chin-hua, deputy director of forecasting, said: “the electric car to go to China between 2012 to 2015 to be a certain size. The main reason is the Dell Inspiron 9400 battery, Dell Inspiron E1405 battery technology can meet the needs. ”

      It is also 863 plans energy saving and new energy vehicles, Deputy Head of the Expert Group on major projects.

      Major national projects of 863 electric vehicles Power Battery Testing Center Director Prince also gave a similar assessment of winter. The test center is funded by the National Science and Technology.

      Dong Wang said: “The development of China electric cars is still at an early stage. If the entry is large enough, then electric cars in three years is expected to reach the level of marketing.”

      Automakers in North America BYD Auto Company to its prospects for hybrid and electric cars to the optimistic expectations.

      BYD began targeting customers this month sold its first car, a plug-in hybrid F3DM. BYD said it has introduced in 2009 the first cars E6 electric car. Other automakers in China has not yet announced the release schedule for electric vehicles Dell Inspiron E1505 battery, Dell Inspiron E1705 battery.

      Prince Winter said: “BYD battery has reached the level of primary industry. Other developments in China’s energy supply to the vehicle battery is always produced at different levels of the stage of laboratory tests.”

      Wang Dong said there were more than 50 battery manufacturers involved in the development of hybrid and electric vehicles use batteries. Battery electric vehicles are facing several obstacles:

      - Life: A limited number of charging batteries. The number of battery charging are also lower than the number of battery charge only 70%.

      - Economics of energy use: development of a number of electric cars, energy consumption is relatively high. In most cases, drive an electric car weighing 1.000 kilograms travel 100 km to the need of drinking 8 to 12 kWh. And good electric cars need only to consume 5 kWh.

      - Key technologies: In the control technologies and management systems are very different, the essential building blocks are being imported.

      - A high cost: the Office of McKinsey & Company global managing partner of Shanghai, the GAO said, according to a recent study by McKinsey, if electric vehicles manufacturing costs that the high cost of 3 million or even less diesel, then to promote a wide range of market-oriented electric car is a starting point.

      Industry sources said, but now the production costs of new electric vehicles is far more than 3 million yuan.

      Wanxiang Group as an example to the battery. Universal electric vehicle batteries lithium iron phosphate are priced at 6 yuan (8783 U.S. dollars) to 8 million yuan (11,711 U.S. dollars). Universal said that can save costs in mass production are reduced by 30%, followed by the calculation, the price can be reduced to 42,000 yuan.

      China First Automobile Group Corporation is developing a small car based on the Veta versions of electric cars, and strive to reduce costs.

      FAW, a director, said: “If the energy consumption of large and medium-sized Dell Latitude D500 battery, Dell Latitude D600 battery vehicle according to the development, then the cost of the battery will double. Meanwhile, the air is essential for a higher end car. As the largest energy consumption air conditioning, it will increase even more costs. ”

      FAW basic research, R & D Center, said Vice Minister Liu Minghui, FAW is an intensive search for batteries and suppliers of electric motors, which does not include international markets.

      But he said many Chinese supplier of batteries and motors are the latest from the automotive industry turned to other industries.

      He said: “They offer in accordance with the standards of the automotive industry are too high.”

      CSMWorldwide’s manager of powertrain forecasting for Greater China, Jun-Hua Zhao said: “Once in production to ensure product stability, automakers are likely to cross the suppliers of batteries of supply. ”

      Jun-Hua Zhao said that the Japanese battery manufacturer now has the world’s most advanced technology of automotive batteries.

Electric cars have become a travel public transport important, but now the electric cars in general use lead acid laptop battery containing sulfuric acid to the interior contains large quantities of lead, be disposed of will not pollute the environment, but also a major risk to human health.

According to experts, the blood contains high levels of lead elements of lead poisoning occurs, it will cause the body’s nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, a series of unusual behavior, severe and even DELL laptop battery life threatening impact on children is particularly serious. Shaanxi and Hunan provinces have been exposed problems lead in the blood caused serious social implications, where more than 1,000 children, 200 were detected in blood lead levels exceeded, in which the oldest 15-year-old, small or baby a few months. To find an alternative to lead acid batteries were imminent new momentum.

The emergence of lithium batteries to resolve this major health risk. According to reports, Li-ion battery not only lighter, but the long cycle life, safety performance is good, do not contain cadmium, lead, mercury and other elements of environmental pollution . Good guys Goodbaby Group has 100 Ruikang Health Products Co., Ltd. has launched a green environmentally friendly “than the Czech Republic, Austria” lithium battery  electric bicycle brand, has attracted the eyes of many consumers.

It Goodbaby is understood that began in 2003 R & D projects tram lithium has become the largest industry family of products in varieties of lithium manufacturers tram.
Internationally, the emergence of powering electric cars lithium has become a major trend. Paris has introduced the lithium battery electric bike to buy subsidized individuals and companies, the Italian government will provide relief to the lithium battery electric bike for the tax of 30 percent. Cars lithium-ion dell Inspiron 6400 battery electric cars must be electric in the future development of the main axis of the internal market.
