Moroccan Innovator Rachid Yazami Earns Chinese Patent for Ultra-Fast Battery Charging
Renowned Moroccan scientist and TAKREEM Laureate in the Scientific and Technological Achievement category of 2018, Rachid Yazami, has earned a Chinese patent for his innovative lithium battery charging technology. Yazami, who resides in Singapore, shared the milestone on his official Facebook page, further cementing his reputation as a trailblazer in the field of battery technology. The patent builds on a similar grant Yazami received from Japan, underscoring the global recognition of his work. His breakthrough technology, known as the “nonlinear voltage” technique, is poised to revolutionize the charging process for lithium batteries, which are widely used in electric vehicles and electronic devices. Unlike conventional methods that manage voltage pressure to charge batteries, Yazami’s approach optimizes the current flow within the battery, enabling ultra-fast charging times. While traditional methods take at least 30 minutes to charge a battery from 20% to 80%, Yazami’s technique can achieve a full 100% charge in just 15 minutes. Recent trials have even shattered records, fully charging a lithium battery in as little as five minutes. “This new technique not only speeds up the charging process but also ensures efficiency and safety for both electronic devices and electric vehicles,” Yazami explained in an interview with Moroccan outlet SNRTnews. Currently based in Singapore, Yazami leads cutting-edge research at Nanyang Technological University, exploring the potential of replacing lithium with fluorine, a more abundant and cost-effective alternative. His groundbreaking work continues to push the boundaries of scientific innovation, solidifying his legacy as one of the foremost experts in battery technology.
