The world's first flexible battery comes out: wearable devices are about to usher in technological innovation

<

According to foreign newsletter Etnews, under the efforts of Korean researchers, the research team of UNIST (Ulsan National Science and Technology Institute, Korea) developed the world's first elastic battery.

This battery can maintain its original performance while being stretched, safe and reliable, and can be widely used in wearable devices.

The current collector of a battery of a wearable device is a mixture of a high-conductivity material and a polymer having good tensile properties.

However, when these batteries are stretched, the connection of the conductive material is broken and the electrical conductivity is reduced. The elastic battery just makes up for this shortcoming. It uses a composite material that is stretched to maintain its electrical conductivity, and uses the composite material as a current collector for the electrode.

So popular speaking, the elastic battery is a safe and stretchable lithium-ion battery.

The team created a new polymer composite by mimicking the structure of "Jabuticaba," which is known as the Brazilian grape.

The battery consists of a polymer composite consisting of carbon nanotubes and carbon black. When this new type of polymer composite is stretched, the disconnected portion of the carbon black connecting carbon nanotubes maintains its original electrical conductivity.

More importantly, lithium ion batteries made from this composite and aqueous electrolyte are more reliable than current batteries. When these batteries are stretched, the risk of danger is very low.

There is no doubt that flexible batteries have a vast space for use in folding equipment and wearable devices, but they do not know whether they will be as difficult to produce as graphene batteries.


Chain Conveyor

QUANTUM En Masse and Drag Chain Conveyors are used to convey powdery and granulated products across a range of inclined and vertical installations.


QUANTUM utilizes drop-forged links with case hardened pins, or standard conveyor chains depending on the material to be conveyed & the application.


The conveyor length is limited by the capacity and chain speed, but lengths of 100m and more are not uncommon, with capacities over 600t/hr.


The standard range of QUANTUM En Masse Conveyors comes in 2 grades:

• Light: (QCL Range, specifically designed for typical products Grain , flour, stock feed pellets, paper, pulp-> Specific gravity 750kg/m3)

• Heavy: (QCH Range, specifically designed for Cement, fly ash, sand, woodchips, biomass, coal powder -> Specific gravity 1500kg/m3)


All ranges span from 190-1000mm wide, come with single or dual chain options and have a variety of standard attachments to suit the application. For Bin discharge, we provide multiple strand chain & specially designed hoppers for constant & even emptying.


QUANTUM can provide customized designs, including for high temperature applications and all conveyor arrangement can be designed into horizontal or inclined layout.
