Lithium-ion Batteries from Drones Might Find Second Lives in Less ‘Stressful’ Devices - Technology Org

Lithium-ion Batteries from Drones Might Find Second Lives in Less ‘Stressful’ Devices - Technology Org

Taking flight can be stressful — especially for a lithium-ion battery that powers a drone. Too much strain on these cells causes damage and shortens a device’s lifespan.

Research in ACS Energy Letters shows the potential to improve batteries in aerial electric vehicles that take off and land vertically. The team developed a new electrolyte to address these challenges and said the “stressed out” batteries could also have second lives in less strenuous applications.

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have exploded in popularity thanks to their ability to pack a large amount of power in a relatively small, light package. But they aren’t perfect, especially when a lot of that power needs to be drawn from the battery cell quickly.

For example, drones put a high strain on their batteries during takeoff. While hobby drones traditionally use lithium-ion polymer batteries instead of LiBs, the latter’s high energy density is better suited for heavier-duty drones, such as those that deliver cargo to remote locations. To better understand how high-strain events like liftoff can affect LiB stability, Ilias Belharouak, Marm Dixit and colleagues “stressed out” a set of LiBs and investigated how their performance changed.

The researchers manufactured a set of LiB cells containing a specially designed, fast-charging and discharging electrolyte. Then, they drained 15 times the battery’s optimal capacity, the total amount of energy it could store, for 45 seconds. This process simulated the rapid, high-power draw, also known as a discharge, needed during vertical takeoff.

After the initial discharge pulse, the cells were further drained at a more normal discharge rate and then recharged. The team found that none of the tested cells lasted more than 100 cycles under these high-stress conditions, with most starting to show decreased performance around 85 cycles.

After being “stressed,” the researchers subjected the LiB cells to a more normal, lower rate power draw. In this experiment, they observed that the cells partially retained their capacities under low-rate conditions, but failed quickly when put under rapid current drain conditions again.

These results indicate that the LiBs typically used in drones might not have the characteristics necessary for long-term, high-stress usages, but they could be retired and meet more typical power demands in other applications, such as battery back-ups for power supplies and energy-grid storage. The researchers say that more work is needed to develop alternative battery technologies that are better suited for vertical takeoff and other high-power-demand applications.

What kind of batteries do you reckon worker drones run on?

Personally, I like to believe they have lithium-ion ones or any other kind that can swell. Purely because I find the idea of a worker drone randomly exploding because their battery became a "spicy pillow" really funny

[n-and-uzi-chat-abt-things]

I noticed some drones eat batteries. Do the various compositions (Zinc, Alkaline, Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, Lithium Ion, Lithium Polymer) taste different, same across the sizes like AA, AAA, C, D, 9Vs. Am genuinely curious.

ADEX: MBDA highlights Meteor air-to-air missile with the KF-21

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/17/2023 - 14:00in Armaments, Military

During the Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition (ADEX) 2023, MBDA is presenting its Meteor missile on KF-21 Boramae fighter planes.

KF-21 fighters equipped with Meteor will dominate air combat, as the Meteor provides a far greater escape exclusion zone and a higher probability of shooting than any other missile. This is due to its unique ramjet engine that powers the Meteor at supersonic high speed throughout the missile flight, allowing the Meteor to chase and maneuver behind hostile fighters like any other missile.

The integration of Meteor into KF-21 Boramae combat aircraft is being conducted quickly and in close partnership between Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and MBDA, with flight and launch tests already underway.

MBDA is a true world leader in missile systems, with more than 60 years of experience in developing cutting-edge missiles in cross-border partnerships that make the company a natural partner to accelerate national development programs, increase platform lethality and exportability.

KAI and MBDA are also working together to integrate MBDA's Mistral ATAM air-to-air missile into the Marine Corps of Korea's KAI MAH helicopter. MBDA has a long history of cooperation with Korea through MBDA's participation in the Taurus deep attack cruise missile that equips Korea's F-15K attack fighters.

MBDA will also display many other powerful missile systems in ADEX. These include the MBDA ASRAAM air combat missile, the Brimstone precision attack missile, the Sea Venom helicopter-launched anti-ship missile, the Sky Warden anti-UAV system, the SPEAR miniature cruise missile and the SPEAR-EW electronic warfare system.

Neil Badenhorst (b. 1995) is an artist and illustrator based in Pretoria, South Africa. He completed his Undergraduate and Honours degrees in Visual Communication, graduating in 2017.

Badenhorst began his Masters in Illustration in 2019. Badenhorst has been pursuing a career as an independent artist since his early days at University, and has also worked as a freelance illustrator and designer, as well as a lecturer since then.

He explains: "The predominant medium used for the paintings is watercolour on cotton paper. For the most, the works consist of three paint pigments, two of which are metals namely Cobalt (blue, green) and Cadmium (red, yellow, orange). The third is Ivory Black. These pigments have sticky associations. Cadmium and Cobalt are toxic to humans. However due to their stable and inert character and their brightness they are popular with artists and used extensively outdoors as signage to regulate human behaviour. Most cobalt deposits are found in the DRC and is mined under questionable conditions of child labour and worker exploitation. Here most of the cobalt is mined by artisanal miners who tunnel into the earth to create a labyrinth of underground caves. The primary use of cobalt is not for paint but in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for smart phones, drones, electric cars and solar power systems. Its use is therefore associated with progress and technological advancement. It is the metal that’s increasingly driving the global economy.

The colour Ivory Black (Bone Black) is derived from the carbon remains of incinerated animal bones and its origin harks back to colonial era when ivory was burnt to create the pigment.

Inspiration for the series was also taken from subterranean termites, the Woodworm and the Western Australian White Ant. These insects are known to destroy interiors while leaving exteriors intact. The only sign of their presence are circular holes on the surface area. The saying white anting is often used to illustrate the hollowing out of institutions and the eroding of foundations, especially political ones. However, it must not be forgotten that if it was not for the White Ant the digeridoo would never have existed. In Julian Barnes’ book The history of the world in 10 ½ chapters, the Woodworm, without ever being mentioned in The Scriptures, hitches a ride on Noah’s Ark (the second creation myth recorded in the Bible) and from then on remains the bane of many a land and seafaring adventurer intent on conquering, understanding and ruling the world.

What are the advantages of lithium iron phosphate （LiFePO4）batteries?

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries have become a leading technology in energy storage, finding a place in applications ranging from electric vehicles (EVs) to renewable energy systems. As a subtype of lithium-ion batteries, LiFePO4 has unique chemical and structural properties that address many of the limitations of traditional lithium-ion batteries. Below, we explore the key advantages that are driving its widespread adoption.

1. Superior safety and thermal stability

2. Extended Cycle Life

3. Long-term cost-effectiveness

4. Environmental and material advantages

5: High performance in extreme conditions

6: Versatile applications

7. Stable voltage output

1. Superior safety and thermal stability

Safety is a primary concern in battery technology. LiFePO4 batteries excel in this regard due to their stable chemistry. Unlike lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) or nickel-based lithium batteries, LiFePO4's olivine crystal structure resists thermal runaway - a chain reaction that causes overheating or combustion. Even in the event of high temperatures, physical damage, or overcharging, LiFePO4 batteries are less prone to catastrophic failure, making them ideal for high-risk environments such as EVs and residential energy storage.

2. Extended Cycle Life

LiFePO4 batteries have an exceptionally long service life, typically exceeding 2,000-5,000 charge-discharge cycles while retaining 80% of their original capacity. In contrast, conventional lithium-ion batteries typically degrade after 500-1,000 cycles. This long life reduces replacement frequency and total cost of ownership, especially in applications that require daily cycling, such as solar energy storage or industrial equipment.

3. Long-term cost-effectiveness

While LiFePO4 batteries may cost more upfront than lead-acid or standard lithium-ion batteries, their extended service life and lower maintenance requirements make them more economical in the long run. They avoid the frequent replacement and performance degradation issues found in lead-acid batteries, providing significant cost savings for commercial and residential users.

4. Environmental and material advantages

LiFePO4 batteries do not contain toxic heavy metals such as cobalt and nickel, which are associated with ethical mining issues and environmental hazards. Its main components, iron and phosphate, are abundant, non-toxic, and easily recyclable. This is in line with global sustainable development goals and reduces reliance on scarce or geopolitically sensitive materials.

5: High performance in extreme conditions

These batteries operate efficiently over a wide temperature range (-20°C to 60°C) and maintain stable performance even in harsh environments. Their low self-discharge rate (about 3% per month) ensures reliable energy retention during storage, outperforming many alternatives.

6: Versatile applications

The safety, durability and efficiency of LiFePO4 make it suitable for a variety of uses:

- Electric Vehicles (EV): A top choice for buses, trucks and fleet vehicles due to safety and cycle life. - Renewable energy storage: Ideal for solar and wind energy systems that require daily cycling. - Consumer electronics: Used in portable power stations, drones and medical devices. - Industrial backup power: Suitable for UPS systems and telecommunication infrastructure.

7. Stable voltage output

LiFePO4 batteries provide a stable voltage over most of the discharge cycle, ensuring continuous power delivery. This "flat discharge curve" is critical for applications that require a stable energy output, such as electronic devices or motor drive systems.

Challenges and Trade-offs

While LiFePO4 batteries offer many advantages, they have a lower energy density than nickel-cobalt-based lithium batteries, meaning they can take up more space for the same energy capacity. However, advances in battery design and hybrid systems are easing this limitation.
