build batteries out of paper
Researchers at Stanford University have used nanotechnology to create a paper weight, or bending, the same battery.
This battery was designed to be folded, VGP-BPS10, ,VGP-BPS10A, VGP-BPS10A/B, VGP-BPS10B, VGP-BPS11creased and even immersed in an acid solution, still working, according fragile, assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford University. The team has prepared a paper coated with carbon nanotubes and nano-silver ink to form the battery.
Stanford University does not provide the battery will be put into commercial service in sight.
“The most important … how simple things in life - paper - could serve as a substrate for a simple process of functional conductive electrodes, said:” Peidong Yang, professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, in a copy of the statement. “This is our daily life nanotechnology, in essence.”
Documents used in batteries and super capacitors with a carbon nanotube is a small diameter, which makes their access to the ink adhere to the three dimensional structure of the document closely. The university said that the document can not handle the load 40,000 super-capacitors and discharge cycles, which is an order of magnitude higher than the lithium batteries can be taken in order.
Cui noted that the nano-materials to do better than traditional materials, conductors, because the power they may be more effective.
This is simply the use of nanotechnology, new research, scientists have held the last pile.
Last summer, IBM introduced the draft multi-cell research, using nanotechnology, materials science and supercomputing.
This year, in April, the U. S. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reported that they genetically combine viruses to build nano-battery technology can drive hybrid cars and mobile phones.
Previously, another research team at Stanford University for easy battery the use of silicon nanowires for lithium-ion batteries to 10 times the cost, they can too. This means that a laptop would be about 40 hours in the past to use the new battery, according to Cui.
