Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has created a flexible battery based on grapheme that has very high potential. The cathode was “grown” onto a sheet of grapheme using pulsed laser reposition, material composition of V2O5. The anode is lithium coated graphene. Lead developer Kisuk Kang said, “The electrode exhibits significantly improved electrochemical performance in almost all aspects of electrochemical properties, such as higher energy density, power density and better cycle life, compared with non-flexible conventional electrodes.”
The tech promises greater energy density and longer life performance. The target application is for flexible devices such as clothing, bendable displays and e-readers. More info at the abstract page.
