Fed up with charging your smart phone again and
again, here is a good news for you Storedot a nanotechnology company has
developed a technology which can charge your phone in few seconds. So if you can’t
increase your battery capacity, speed up the charging rate.
Storedot a Israel based startup, has discovered self
assembling nanodots from organic materials that can be used to make new form of
batteries.
Nanodots are bio-organic peptide molecules which are
part of amino acids, (building blocks of life). Peptides assemble in tiny
spheres of about 2 nanometer in diameter and store a lot of energy for brief
period.
Storedot made a battery of alternating layers of organic
quantum dots and conventional lithium electrodes.
Acting like a supercapacitor, the organic layers are able to
store energy in 30 second slowly release it to lithium layers. From there, the
device draws energy it needs from lithium layer just like a regular battery.
Company have launched technology in a prototype phase but it
is currently too bulky,almost a size of laptop power adaptor, but soon it will
launch a battery of size and capacity which is needed.
This is not expensive, it would
cost about twice the cost of regular smartphone battery which is almost $30.
According to storedot, the material which they use will
replace the use of toxic metal cadmium.
The most attractive thing is you can get your phone charge in 30 sec, which is almost same time
you need, to empty your bladder. I wish company follows its words and launch
this technology by 2016.
