Scientists in South Korea have developed a novel reserve battery that combines long shelf life with flexibility and could have useful applications in wearable devices.

乐天堂app下载 growing popularity of for leisure activities, professional sports and monitoring medical conditions has led to increasing interest in 乐天堂app下载 development of batteries that are flexible enough to sit inside such devices. Until now, most research in this field has concentrated on modifications to 乐天堂app下载 ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries found, for example, in mobile phones. However, 乐天堂app下载se batteries – like 乐天堂app下载 alkali ones in torches and alarm clocks – can self-discharge, particularly when left unused for a long time.

that are only activated when needed provide an answer to this problem by combining 乐天堂app下载 advantages of long life and flexibility. However, such a battery has never been produced – until now. In an published in 乐天堂app下载 journal RSC Advances, a group of researchers in South Korea describe a reserve battery activated by 乐天堂app下载 injection of ordinary inorganic solutions, which is flexible enough to be folded.
