Latest battery technology<\/strong>: researchers at UCLA have discovered a way to make graphene batteries that charge super fast, are inexpensively produced, are non-toxic and that blow current battery technology out of the water in terms of efficiency and performance.<\/p>\n

An iPhone powered by a graphene supercapacitor could be fully charged in five-seconds. A Apple MacBook powered by a graphene supercapacitor could charge 30-seconds. Electric cars powered by the battery technology<\/a> could be charged as quickly as filling a car with a tank of gas.<\/p>\n

\"asus-eee-pc-1001p-laptop-battery\"<\/a>Graphene batteries sound almost too good to be true. In addition to super fast charging, they don\u2019t have any negative environmental impact. They are biodegradable and even compostable.<\/div>\n

The new energy technology was developed by Richard Kaner, a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA where he is also a professor of chemistry and biochemistry. Working with Maher El-Kady, a grad student, the scientists invented a way to produce micro-scale graphene-based batteries<\/a> using a standard LightScribe DVD burner.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo label discs using LightScribe, the surface of the disc is coated with a reactive dye that changes color on exposure to the laser light. Instead of printing on this specialized coating, our approach is to coat the disc with a film of graphite oxide, which then can be directly printed on,\u201d Kaner said. \u201cWe previously found an unusual photo-thermal effect in which graphite oxide absorbs the laser light and is converted into graphene in a similar fashion to the commercial LightScribe process. With the precision of the laser, the drive renders the computer-designed pattern onto the graphite oxide film to produce the desired graphene circuits.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The micro-supercapacitors created by Kaner and El-Kady are highly bendable and twistable and will be ideal for future flexible displays, e-paper and wearable electronics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
