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 :

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.
