Smartphone battery capacity could be increased using nanochain material
A new method could allow better materials to make up battery electrodes by converting them into a nanochain structure, the black material on this copper electrode of a coin cell.Purdue University image/Kayla Wiles If you’re frustrated by the fact that electronic gadgets continue to get more sophisticated but your smartphone battery stillcan’t seem to last a full day, then new research fromPurdue Universitycould offer some relief. Chemists there have developed a new method for designing lithium-ion batteries which could make them last longer and charge faster....
