Are Thousands of Hours of Non-Stop Power Possible?

The group of scientists estimates that the batteries can be made to be more powerful, as well as rechargeable, within several years; even citing the possibility that this groundbreaking technology could be used for electric vehicle batteries within a decade.
The group of scientists, whose findings are published in the October 2009 issue of Electrochemistry Communications, have apparently developed a a new silicon-air battery capable of supplying non-stop power for thousands of hours without needing to be replaced. As noted in a post by reliableplant, such batteries would be lightweight, have an unlimited shelf life, and have a high tolerance for both humid and extremely dry conditions.
“Silicon-air batteries will be used like the ones already in use today,” says lead researcher Professor Yair Ein-Eli of the Department of Materials Engineering. “But by using silicon – a safe, non-toxic, stable and more common material – we can create verylightweight batteries with infinite shelf life and high energy capacity.”
Silicon-air batteries would provide significant savings in cost and weight because they lack the built-in cathode of conventional batteries. The cathode in silicon-air (and metal-air) batteries is the oxygen that comes from the atmosphere through the membrane. Potential uses include medical applications (for example, powering diabetic pumps or hearing aids), sensors and microelectronics structured from silicon.
A battery that would last for thousands of hours between charges while qualifying as environmentally friendly would truly be considered revolutionary. According to a team of scientists from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, such a battery may become a reality within several years.
