An element that is present in toothpaste can optimize and prolong the life of car batteries. Incredible as it may seem, research on vehicle batteries managed to find a way to store more energy using the toothpaste ingredient.
The search was carried out in Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory from the USA and identified that the fluorine we use daily in oral hygiene also offers benefits to the battery of electric cars.

O electric car is one of the best releases of recent times, but it still has some problems, such as, for For example, battery life is not as long-lasting, which ends up generating more costs in the medium and long term. term.
Here's what researchers found to improve vehicle batteries! The analysis is also available in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
The importance of fluoride in electric car batteries
Currently, automakers offer a battery warranty of up to eight years. Now, that term could completely change with the researchers' discovery about the use of fluorine in electric car batteries.
According to reviews, a fluoride electrolyte optimizes the battery and protects against performance degradation. To achieve the result, the team made some changes to the electrolytic liquid in the batteries, changing it to fluorinated components.
The most significant change in the new electrolyte was the removal of hydrogen atoms and the addition of fluorine. The action generated a major change in the performance of vehicle batteries. Thus, the battery was internally protected and had greater durability.
The advance in battery life is a positive response to renewable energy campaigns, as well as to reducing the disposal of vehicle components.
The news can also influence the market value of electric cars, since the solution found in the research is cheaper and easier to manufacture. Until now, the vehicles are still marketed with prices above the average for the general population.
In summary, research on the use of fluorine in batteries can be an innovative and cost-effective solution for everyone.
