Nanotechnology Can Turn Fabric And Paper Into Light Batteries.

An engineer has discovered a cheap and efficient production of light paper. Battery And super Capacitor And the method of extending and transmitting textiles, called "e- textiles (eTextiles)", which can store energy and retain the mechanical properties of ordinary paper or fabrics.

Batteries and supercapacitors store energy through static electricity, not chemical methods.

Stanford University Engineer Yi Cui soaked ordinary paper or fabric in a special injection of nano particles of ink, developed e- textiles.

The team led by Cui even imagined many of their inventions. function Purpose. In the future, families may use energy storage wallpaper some day. Gadget enthusiasts can connect their gadgets to their T- shirts anytime and anywhere to recharge portable gadgets. Energy textiles can also be used to produce mobile display clothing, produce high-performance sports apparel with reaction function, and armed with wearable capabilities.

The main components of developing these high-tech products are nanostructures that are invisible to human eyes. Nanostructures can be assembled to give them conductive functions. This assembly structure is likely to provide solutions for some of the electrical storage devices currently on the market.

The type of nanoparticles used in the Cui team's experimental device varies according to the expected function of the product - lithium cobalt oxide is a commonly used compound in batteries, while single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are used in supercapacitors.

Cui said: "energy storage is a very old research field. Super capacitors and batteries are all old stuff. How to really bring revolutionary influence to this field? This requires quite a lot of different thinking.
