Best High Capacity High Cycle Flexible Battery Ever Seen
April 29, 2014 | 2 Comments
Rice University chemist James Tour and his colleagues have developed a battery made of a flexible material in a thin film for energy storage. The flexible material is a made from nanoporous nickel-fluoride electrodes layered around a solid electrolyte. The design delivers battery-like supercapacitor performance that combines the best qualities of a high-energy battery and […]
