BATTERY PROBLEMS TO SOLVE


Todays Li and NiMH cells constrain design and functionality of portable electronics.
Thin film Low capacity Limited flexibility Too expensive Lithium polymer Too thick Limited flexibility Safety issues Cylindrical (coin, AA) Fixed sizes/shapes Too thick Rigid

Conventional Zn battery are safe and inexpensive but have poor rechargeability.
