Nanotecture has developed extremely thin, high
power, rechargeable batteries. With an individual cell thickness
as low as 150µm these batteries can fit into spaces where no
other battery will go. These batteries are capable of such high
discharge rates that they can be seen as a cross between
batteries and supercapacitors. Equally, they can be recharged
extremely quickly as well. The Nanotecture Microbattery is a
unique patented product that uses innovative nanotechnology to
outperform all known microbattery and supercapacitor power
source products.
Their ability to discharge at high rates makes
them particularly suited for high current pulse applications,
for instance load levelling for GSM or CDMA discharge in mobile
phones, where it has been demonstrated that an increase in
talk-time of up to 50% is possible. Combined with their industry
leading energy density they are also perfectly suited to provide
the power for flash photography in mobile phones.
The very flat profile of the microbatteries allows the
designer a degree of flexibility that has not been available up to now.
