Toothpaste like battery: Scientists from Sweden have prepared a unique and flexible battery, whose design is like some toothpaste. This battery can be molded in any size. This battery can open the doors of new possibilities in future wearable devices, medical devices and robotics. Till now many attempts were made to make flexible batteries, using rubber -like materials or joints slides among themselves. But to increase the capacity of these batteries, when more active materials were put in them, they used to become thick and hard, which reduced their flexibility.
Scientists discovered solutions
Scientists of Linkoping University have found a solution to this problem. They have made this new battery with conductive plastic and lignin. Lignin is a durable material that survives in paper making process. According to the scientist, the specialty of this battery is that its capacity does not depend on its harsh or flexible. He said, “Its texture is like a toothpaste and it can be molded into any size with a 3D printer. This will make new forms of technology possible.”
Environmentally friendly technology
For information, let us know that many flexible batteries made so far were used in rare and harm to the environment. But materials like polymer and lignin used in this battery are also available in cheap and more quantity. At the same time, according to scientists, this battery can work even after charging and discharge more than 500 times. Not only this, it remains equally effective even after doubling its length.
New possibility in future
However, this battery is not yet fully prepared for industrial use as it can store only 1 volt power which is the eighth part of the capacity of a normal car battery. But scientists believe that its flexibility quality can be prepared by mixing with zinc or manganese in future.
