The polymer membranes are already an essential component of lithium ion batteries

With recent advances in the technology of portable electronic devices, there is a demand for flexible batteries to power them. Drs Hiroyuki Nishide, Hiroaki Konishi and Takeo Suga at Waseda University have designed the  IBM T60 Battery  – which consists of a redox-active organic polymer film around 200 nanometres thick. Nitroxide radical groups are attached, which [...]

Using Carbon Nanotubes To Produce Electricity

The researchers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have uncovered a new phenomenon of carbon nanotubes. They found that carbon nanotubes discharge powerful waves of electricity under certain circumstances. MIT team named it as thermopower waves. They are pinning their hope on thermopower waves to produce electricity to be utilized in small electrical appliances or [...]
