This Flexible and Rechargeable Battery is 10 times more powerful than state of the art

Highlights
•Novel polymer-based screen-printing of battery with a high areal density of 54 mAh/cm 2
•A battery featuring flexibility, rechargeability, low impedance, and customizability
•Superior battery performance in pulsed high current discharge mode

A team of researchers has developed a flexible, rechargeable silver oxide-zinc battery with a five to 10 times greater areal energy density than state of the art. The battery also is easier to manufacture; while most flexible batteries need to be manufactured in sterile conditions, under vacuum, this one can be screen printed in normal lab conditions. The device can be used in flexible, stretchable electronics for wearables as well as soft robotics.

The team, made up of researchers at the University of California San Diego and Ca...
