The battery or to the end of the era: You can quickly charge and discharge of the plastic come out

To the generations uninterrupted flow of energy in the battery probably will soon be thrown into the dustbin of history. According to the British "Daily Post" recently reported that British scientists have developed a can store and release energy of the ultra-thin plastic, that, or will completely change the way people use mobile phones, cars and even clothing approach.

University of London Imperial College Aviation Department Amygreen Half a research team led by Dr. R & D out of the plastic, it is not a real battery, but a super-capacitor circuits similar to the common capacitor.

The researchers first formed by two layers of carbon fiber sandwiching a layer of material in the glass fiber, when this "sandwich" is electricity, the electrons from a carbon fiber layer to another layer of carbon fiber, this will produce positive and negative electric charge. When the device is inserted into an electrical device, it can be the same work as regular batteries.

The team completed a sample of about 32 square centimeters, and the ultra-thin, with normal power supply for 5 seconds can be filled with electricity, and enable an LED lighting for 20 minutes. They are currently working with Volvo Car Corporation to launch a period of 3 years, 3 million pounds investment in the project to prepare such materials for hybrid gasoline-electric car, using it to replace the Volvo car trunk containing a spare tire hanging metal floor. The researchers said that with this technology, the future of cars can get energy from the roof and even doors. This also means that cars will become more smaller, lighter and more efficient.

The researchers said that the speed of the material charge and discharge the battery faster than normal, and there is no chemical reaction, therefore, have a longer service life, will be a very wide range of applications. This means that power mobile phones and iPod, etc. The duration will be doubled, but also to make these electronic gadgets as thin as a credit card. In addition, it can also be used to make flexible computer screen, when the people can be folded like paper and a computer to carry, and that the use of the computer time will be longer.

In addition, people can also use it to create "electronic clothing", which in people can be charged when moving around, and release heat when the weather cools.

The researchers said that so far, no one has produced such material, it will within a decade is expected to replace the battery.
