Researchers from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research Dresden, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a flexible, high-capacity anode for portable batteries. Unlike conventional anodes, this innovation withstands heat and mechanical stress, paving the way for more durable, adaptable battery designs.
Key Findings:
- Enhanced Durability: The anode maintains integrity under heat and repeated flexing, making it ideal for foldable electronics and high-stress applications.
- Unique Polymer Structure: Replacing traditional binders and additives, a semiconducting porous polymer holds the active materials in place, providing stable electrochemical performance.
- Commercial Potential: Supported by INAM AdMaLab 2022, Prof. Bojdys aims to commercialize this technology, targeting flexible battery inks and electrodes.
