According to the British “Daily Post” recently reported that British scientists have developed the ultra-thin plastic which can store and release energy as vgp-bps2c battery , maybe it will completely change the way people use mobile phones, cars and even clothing approach.

University of London Imperial College Aviation Department Half a research team led by Dr. R & D ,they developed the plastic, it is not a real battery, but a super-capacitor circuits similar to the common capacitor.

The researchers first formed two layers of carbon fiber sandwiching a layer of material in the glass fiber, when electricity go through this “sandwich” , the electrons from a carbon fiber layer to another layer of carbon fiber, this will produce positive and negative electric charge. When the device is inserted into an electrical device, it can be the same work as regular batteries,such as aspire 3000 battery.

The team completed a 32 square centimeters sample ,and it is ultra-thin,it can be filled with electricity with normal power supply for 5 seconds for the TravelMate 2440 series battery , and enable an LED lighting for 20 minutes. They are currently working with Volvo Car Corporation to launch a period of 3 years, 3 million pounds investment in the project ,and prepared such materials for hybrid gasoline-electric car, using it to replace the Volvo car trunk containing a spare tire hanging metal floor. The researchers said that cars can get energy from the roof and even doors by this technology. This also means that cars will become more smaller, lighter and more efficient.

The researchers said that the charging and discharging speed of the material is faster than normal battery, like the pavilion zv6000 battery , and there is no chemical reaction, therefore, it ave a longer service life, and will be a very wide range of applications. This means that The duration of power mobile phones and iPod will be doubled, but also make these electronic gadgets as thin as a credit card. In addition, it can also be used to make flexible computer screen, when the computer can be folded like paper and carry anywhere, and that the use of the computer time will be longer.

In addition, people can also use it to create “electronic clothing”, which it can be charged when moving around, and release heat when the weather cools.

The researchers said that so far, no one has produced such material, it will be expected to replace the battery within a decade is .
