New lithium-ion battery design: 2,000 times more powerful, recharges 1,000 times faster

“Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new lithium-ion battery technology that is 2,000 times more powerful than comparable batteries. According to the researchers, this is not simply an evolutionary step in battery tech, ‘It’s a new enabling technology… it breaks the normal paradigms of energy sources. It’s allowing us to do different, new things.’  In real-world use, this tech will probably be used to equip consumer devices with batteries that are much smaller and lighter — imagine a smartphone with a battery the thickness of a credit card, which can be recharged in a few seconds.”
