The new battery has the potential to increase the capacity of existing battery technology by 400%.”You get more power per volume and weight, leading to lighter, smaller batteries with more power, ”explained Yi Cui, professor of Material Science and Engineering and leader of the Stanford research team. For the instant, the new battery will have the same shape and dimensions, to make possible the perfect replacement for the actual usual devices as smart phones , laptops or even electric cars. The result of the research is a stable battery which retains 99% charge efficiency after 150 cycles. Because sometimes the actual battery’s dimensions determine the final dimensions of the device it is expected that in the future this will change too: little batteries will correspond to little devices.
