Knitted supercapacitors could store power in your pants
更新时间：2015-06-05；信息类型：国外研究进展
We’ve all gotten used to carrying smart devices around in our pockets, but what if your pockets themselves were smart? Scientists have been working on smart clothing for years — and flexible circuits, sensors, and screens already exist, but what about power? Clipping a chunky lithium-ion battery to your smart pants rather defeats the purpose, doesn’t it? That’s why engineers at Drexel University and the US Naval Academy have devised a way to create knitted fabric that can store power.

Researchers explore longer life cycle for batteries
更新时间：2015-05-06；信息类型：国外研究进展
Lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. They are one of the most popular types of rechargeable batteries for portable electronics, with a high energy density, no memory effect and only a slow loss of charge when not in use. Beyond consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries have also grown in popularity for military, electric vehicle and aerospace applications.

Super-fast charging aluminium batteries ready to take on lithium
更新时间：2015-04-07；信息类型：国内研究进展
A new rival to the lithium-ion battery has been created that charges in under a minute and still performs almost perfectly after being recharged thousands of times. The new battery is based on aluminium instead of lithium, which should make it both cheaper and safer than their lithium-ion competitors. The US team behind the aluminium-ion battery say that the technology could find its way into the home, help store renewable energy for the power grid and even power vehicles.
