Chalmers University of Technology lead researcher Leif Espy said about the battery made of carbon fiber, a phone as thin as a credit card can be made with this battery. When this battery comes to the market, the weight of phones and laptops will be reduced by half. The battery will enable the creation of new vehicles in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
A battery made of carbon fiber is known as a structural battery. This type of battery can be used in different situations. Analysts believe that the powerful and lightweight battery made of carbon fiber can bring about a great change in the aviation industry. According to the scientists of Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, this battery is the most powerful in the world. The battery can be a viable option to reduce the weight and increase the range of electric vehicles.
A paper on this new battery has been published in the journal Advanced Materials. Richa Chowdhury, a scientist associated with the invention of the battery, said, We are testing the performance of the battery made of carbon fiber composite. This battery is as strong as aluminum and strong enough for commercial use.
