The thin-film lithiumionic batteries, developed by company oak ridge micro-Energy, generated interest in the producers of electronics, which impelled it to enlarge studies, after including in the program the creation of low-voltage power sources.
Project started in the fourth quarter of last year. Are past altogether only several months, but, if we believe to official press release, are already ready the first practical results. Company reported testing of prototype battery, which issues on mountain of about 74% of its capacity, preserving output voltage within the limits from 2 to 1 v. the representative of company was named this encouraging result it expressed confidence in reaching even higher indices already in the near future.
Thus, the initial development stage of new battery is successfully completed.
Let us recall, in the past year company achieved successes, developing the technology of thin-film lithiumionic storage batteries in the direction of increase in the maximum operating temperature. Created by specialists Oak ridge micro-Energy prototype of the power source remained operable at a very high temperature - 170Âș C. by the guarantee of success it became the correctly selected combination of materials anode and cathode battery.
Thin-film batteries are obliged by their name to the technology, used for their production: battery is formed from the thin films of the materials, which are brought on basis. In the role of base can come out case or the base layer of microcircuit or multi-chipoho module. The basic fields of application of such batteries include wireless sensors, diagnostic equipment, tags RFID, memory chips and medical instruments.
