S. Koreans Improve Lithium Battery Life by 8 Times
Phone Scoop - Latest News — ... batteries. The researchers replaced graphite as the main material of the negative electrode with three-dimensional porous silicon particles made of silica and hydrogen fluoride. Silicon was known as a potential material for rechargeable batteries, but because silicon tends to expand when in contact with lithium, no solutions were found. This team of researchers came up with a way to solve that problem. They say the technology can be used in devices such as laptops and cell phones. more info at TMCnet ...

South Korean Engineers Greatly Improve Lithium Battery Life
GadgetReview — South Korean engineers have found a way to greatly increase the life of lithium batteries by replacing graphite with 3-D porous silicon particles as the main material. They claim devices using these batteries can last up to 8x longer. It’s about freaking time? The tech in electronic gadgets has been steadily improving but advances in battery technology, how should I say it, sucks BIGTIME. [TMCnet.com] ...

Mobile phone battery life extended by 90%?
Phones Review — ... of mobile phones and laptop computers can be extended 8 times longer than conventional batteries when using this new tech. This was achieved by the team replacing graphite as the main material of the negative electrode with 3 dimensional porous silicon particles made from hydrogen fluoride and silica. The team has applied for 4 basic technology patents for the battery in Korea, the US and the EU, and they believe commercial production could begin in 4-5 years. Source – tmcnet ...

Korean Scientists Make Li-Ion Battery With 800% More Charge [Batteries]
Gizmodo — ... The team's applying for four basic technology patents in South Korea, the U.S. and the E.U., and will begin commercial production on the battery in four to five years. Cho added that his team's also working on merging the tech with solar panels. Solar-charged 16 hour batteries? Let's just hope the proper protections are in place to not turn these into mini-laptop bombs. [TMCnet] ...
