Flexibele batterij die niet hoeft te worden opgeladen in 2008 op de markt

Our mobile devices have one weak spot. it is that their batteries go dead after a while. For many consumers, this is the weakest link in portable electronics. To solve this problem, a group of European researchers have found a way to combine a thin-film organic solar cell with a new type of polymer battery, giving it the capability of recharging itself when exposed to natural or indoor light.

It's not only ultraslim, but also flexible enough to integrate with a wide range of low-wattage electronic devices, including flat but bendable objects like a smart card and, potentially, mobile phones with curves.

The potential for this type of product is large, given [that] there is a growing demand for portable self-rechargeable power supplies.
