Finland, home Ningbo Chinese scientists seek joint venture manufacturing of paper battery
Thin flexible paper Digital Camcorder Battery the principal inventor, Finland Ji Zhang Xia-Chang Chinese scientists recently returned Ningbo Beilun on behalf of such meetings where the company said it hopes to meet with home business co-production of this new type of environmentally friendly batteries.
Zhang Xia-Chang Beilun Xiapu native, graduated from East China Institute of Chemical Technology (now the East China University of Technology), the latter obtained doctorate from the University of Helsinki, Finland, the Finnish En-fucell now chief technology officer. Last year, he developed low-cost environmentally friendly paper and batteries, as a cutting-edge innovative technology, this accomplishment was the World Economic Forum as a "2007 Technology Pioneer" and also by the U.S. "Time" magazine named Digital Camera Battery Best of Innovations 2006, eight technologies. In March this year, he was awarded the "2006 Award of Chinese influence in the world."
Paper side of the battery using zinc, the other side of the thin paper coated manganese dioxide as a conductive body, each less than 0.5 mm thickness, and the paper-soft. Zhang Xia-Chang Zhang took out a playing card is only half the size of the "pieces of paper" presentations, with this battery costs very low (as long as a few cents each), materials, environmental protection, and can be used as household garbage. Can be used as cosmetics, smart cards, the human Canon Battery epidermal drug permeable membrane, electronic paper, sensors and other products of the working power source. To avoid the traditional batteries will produce metal, lithium and alkaline compounds leak problem.
Zhang Xia-Chang said that at present large-scale production of the product being tested before. If necessary, you can immediately put into production. Ningbo City, as long as the hometown of a certain size businesses can log on our website, and contact them to negotiate. Zhang Xia-Chang hopes the near future, can be seen in the Chinese market this product.
European researchers have developed a flexible battery ever need to be recharged
Mobile phones, remote controls and other small appliances to bring a lot of convenience to Canon BP-208 people's lives, but there is a problem is that the battery is easy to run out. For many consumers, a daily charge or replace the battery is the most headache thing. To resolve this problem, a European research group announced that they have found a new type of polymer battery can be thin-film solar cells combined with the organic way, such batteries in outdoor or indoor places under sunlight can be automatically charged. It is not only very thin and very soft enough with a number of low-power electronic devices, such as the flat but can be bent and curved smart card mobile phone combined into one.
The research results are European Polymer Solar Battery project by three years to complete, there are researchers from five European countries participated in the study, published a paper about this technique in the "Solar" (Solar Energy) magazine online edition. Solar company Konarka Technologies researchers, who co-authored papers, one of Gilles - Dennler (Gilles Dennler) said it was the same time with energy generation and storage equipment for the first time, shows great performance Canon BP-511 potential of this new product are enormous, to meet the demand for portable automatic recharge. Prior to joining Konarka, Dennler was Australia Johannes - Kepler University "in Linz Institute for Organic Solar Cell," professor.
This solar cell prototype weighs only 2 grams, the thickness of less than 1 mm. According to the paper, the emergence of such equipment means that batteries can be charged on the light intensity has maintained appropriate voltage. Dennler said that a single cell can provide about 0.6 watts of electricity, by connecting the battery cell of a row composed of a module, each unit can increase power to meet the equipment needs. Prototype of the solar cell using Konarka has developed technology is based on a mixture of conductive polymers and Fullerene. The cells can be produced according to different shapes, you can roll printing equipment and low-temperature conditions, for low-cost, high-volume production of Canon LP-E5 possible.
Because of this exposure in the air when the battery can easily be photolysis, in order to extend battery life, the researchers put it into a capsule, life may be extended to 3000 hours. Project coordinator, the Paris suburb of "nano-structures and semiconductor laboratory" director Dennis - Philippine Joo (Denis Fichou), said the project there is a significant achievement, is the German company VARTA-Microbattery the development of very thin, very soft lithium-polymer battery integrated into the device. VARTA batteries can be as thin as 0.1 mm, number of charge cycles can be more than 1000 times. Such batteries are already available and used in Apple's new iPod nano. Dennler said that as the technology matures and the Canon NB-1LH commercial release Konarka's cells, such solar cell device as early as next year, although I have to achieve higher performance, more work needs to be done.
Paper, also an author, the Swiss Solaronix the company's co-founder Toby - Meyer (Toby Meyer) said that in low light conditions, the prototype products also work well, will serve as a number of mobile phone battery. In addition, there are still restrictions on artificial lighting, indoor lighting too weak to provide sufficient energy. Watches, toys, RFID tags, smart cards, remote controls and a variety of sensors can be used such batteries, but in digital cameras, PDA and mobile phone applications may Canon NB-2L require more research. Paper concludes, however, polymer solar cell technology has been proven to be feasible.
Outdoor Travel for PSP solar panel power supply
PSP as a portable console than the biggest problem with the Canon NB-2LH battery not lasting about four hours of usage time for the PSP portable players play out of the demand, is utterly inadequate. Now from the digital peripheral companies from Japan Digital World Tokyo developed this out of solar panels can provide electricity continuously to the PSP, you can save after the sun when the 1350 milliamperes of electricity, that in the absence of sun exposure cases, still be able to provide about three and a half hours of usage time. In addition to PSP, It can, through USB and other interfaces for other consoles and portable devices such as: NDS, mobile phones and so on.
