Sugar-powered biobattery has 10 times the energy storage of lithium: Your smartphone might soon run on enzymes
2014-01-21 20:01:17| Extremetech
As you probably know, from sucking down cans of Coke and masticating on candy, sugar -- glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose -- is an excellent source of energy. There is a reason why almost every living cell on Earth generates its energy (ATP) from glucose. Now, researchers at Virginia Tech have successfully created a sugar-powered fuel cell that has an energy density of 596 amp-hours per kilo -- or "one order of magnitude" higher than lithium-ion batteries. The energy is clean (water is the only waste product) and very cheap to produce.
At long last, new lithium battery tech actually arrives on the market (and might already be in your smartphone)
2014-01-10 18:21:34| Extremetech
Amprius, a battery startup based in Silicon Valley, is making waves with a new kind of lithium-ion battery that stores around 20% more energy than batteries currently on the market. Unlike most battery breakthroughs that we write about on ExtremeTech, this one is actually here today: Amprius is already shipping its batteries to some Chinese smartphone makers, and has recently secured $30 million in funding to develop next-generation batteries that will store 50% or more energy than the current Li-ion batteries. This is massive news for mobile computing, but also for electric vehicles, where energy density per kilo is a major factor in the development of long-range EVs.
