To Recharge Battery, Just Blow Air
Aug 12th
Scientists at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have developed the world’s first battery fueled by air. This battery has 10 times the storage capacity of conventional batteries and could pave the way for changes and innovations in things like mobile phones, laptops and electric cars. It’s much lighter than current batteries as the main chemical in traditional batteries, lithium cobalt oxide, is replaced with carbon and oxygen. This also helps to recharge the battery as it’s used, perhaps signifying the death of the phrase, “my battery’s dead”. Professor Peter Bruce of the Chemistry Department at the University of St Andrews, said in the Telegraph: “The benefits are it’s much smaller and lighter so better for transporting small applications… Storage is also important in the development of green power. You need to store electricity because wind and solar power is intermittent.”
Silicon nanoparticles will power next-generation batteries

They say there is a thin line between love and hate, a statement with which many electronic consumers would agree when they are holding their beloved iPhones, unable to use it because the batteries need charging. Soon enough consumers could be using electronics powered by next-generation batteries with far longer lives. Researchers in the laboratory
MIT Working On More Efficient Wireless Power Delivery
Apr 20th
In 2007, MIT researchers announced that they had discovered a novel way of transmitting electricity without the use of wires. Now, the researchers have demonstrated that the system’s efficiency at transmitting energy improves significantly when it is used to charge multiple devices at the same time.
Forget Lithium Ion Batteries. Take a look at Lithium Air Batteries.

A team of researchers at MIT has made significant progress on a technology that could lead to batteries with up to three times the energy density of any battery that currently exists. Yang Shao-Horn, an MIT associate professor of mechanical engineering and materials science and engineering, says that many groups have been pursuing work on
Super Nano Lithium Batteries developed by Illinois based firm
Mar 24th
OK, check this out. EcoloCap, an Illinois based research firm has just delivered the Nano Lithium battery with what the company claims it the best commercially available Nano Lithium battery tech. This means faster battery recharge times and longer drives on those Electric Vehicles everyone is talking about.
