Renowned Moroccan inventor and battery technology expert, Dr. Rachid Yazami, has achieved another milestone in his illustrious career. The Chinese Patent Office has granted him a new patent for his groundbreaking work on fast-charging lithium battery technology.

Patent Details

The patent, titled "Adaptive Charging Protocol for Fast Charging of Batteries and Fast Charging System Implementing this Protocol," was initially filed in December 2018. This innovative technology is particularly significant for the future of electric vehicles, as it addresses one of the most pressing challenges in the industry: reducing charging times.

Key Features of the Technology

Dr. Yazami's patented technology focuses on:

  1. Adaptive Charging Protocol (ACP): This protocol allows for fast charging of lithium-ion batteries in approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Non-Linear Voltammetry (NLV): This method enables faster charging without overheating the battery, a common issue with conventional charging techniques.
  3. Versatility: The technology can be applied to various types of rechargeable batteries, including lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, nickel-cadmium, lead-acid, and sodium-based batteries.

Impact on Electric Vehicle Industry

The fast-charging technology developed by Dr. Yazami has the potential to revolutionize the electric vehicle market. By reducing charging times to just 10-15 minutes for most electric car batteries, it addresses one of the main barriers to widespread EV adoption.

Global Recognition

This Chinese patent follows a similar approval in Japan earlier this year, highlighting the global recognition of Dr. Yazami's work His contributions to battery technology have been widely acknowledged, earning him numerous accolades, including the prestigious 2023 VinFuture Grand Prize.

Dr. Yazami's Legacy

Dr. Rachid Yazami is widely regarded as the "Father of the Lithium Battery" for his pioneering work in the field. With over 70 patents and more than 250 scientific papers to his name, he continues to push the boundaries of battery technology innovation
