If you hate batteries as much as I do, this story is for you.
A team of mechanical engineers in Great Britain have announced their latest invention — spray-on rechargeable batteries!
According to the inventive team, their new battery concept could be combined with solar cells to create self-sufficient, energy conversion-storage devices. WOW!
The engineers say that by breaking down the various components of a battery, such as the electrodes, separator, electrolyte and current collectors — and rendering them into liquid form, we could revolutionize the way we power our devices. Instead of being tied to fixed shapes and sizes, batteries could one day take on practically any form, and be applied almost anywhere.
They say the technology would enable, “widespread renewable energy capture, storage and utilization.”
Now how’s that for innovation?
