Japanese Printable Lithium Polymer Batteries Can be Used With a Flexible Solar Battery





We have already discussed on MyGreenTreasure about different type of batteries, but today we will disccuss about something apart. It’s about some lithium polymer batteries wich can be printed. This new project is led by Advanced Materials Innovation Center ( AMIC ) of Mie Industry and Enterprise Support Center and it seems to be a project with great success. The main advantage of this battery is that can be attached on any cruve surface and can be used with a flexible solar battery.

If this type of battery is used with a solar battery formed on a flexible substrate, it will lead to a device that will be used as a power generator and a power storage unit. The battery will be produced using printing technology, and in this way it will be possible to reduce the thickness of the battery and its cost since it will be possible to produce it by roll-to-roll production method. Researchers managed to create two variants, sone which has an output voltage of 4V and the other with an output of 2V.
