Korean researchers develop new flexible, more stable lithium-ion battery

Researchers from South Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology have developed new “shape-conformable” polymer electrolytes that could help craft those flexible display handsets of the future. Thanks to the nano-materials used, these polymers behave like more typical liquefied electrolytes but would create, according to the country’s Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, substantially more stable flexible power cells, especially under high temperatures. The polymer electrolytes are spread onto electrodes and then blasted by ultraviolet rays for 30 seconds; a process that’s also substantially faster than the standard battery manufacturing process. Unfortunately, there’s no visual representation of exactly how flexible the new cell is, but we’re hoping it’ll be able to match what we’ve seen so far in flexible OLED displays.Filed under: ScienceCommentsVia: The RegisterSource: Yonhap News
