A team of researchers has developed a flexible, rechargeable battery made from silver, oxide and zinc with a density
The device can be used in flexible,stretchable electronics, wearable materials, and soft robotics. A team of researchers from the University of California at San Diego and ZPower detailed their development in the scientific journal Joule.
The capacity of this battery is 50 milliamps persquare centimeter at room temperature is 10 to 20 times the capacity of a typical lithium-ion battery. Thus, it can provide 5-10 times more power.

The new battery has more capacity thanany of the flexible batteries available on the market. Scientists explain this by the fact that the battery has much lower resistance. The lower the number, the higher the productivity.
“With the rapid growth of the 5G market and the Internetof things (IoT), this battery, which outperforms commercial products in high-current wireless devices, is likely to be the main contender for the next generation of power for consumer electronics, ”said Jonathan Scharf, co-author of the article and development.
The printed battery cells were recharged 80 times but did not show significant signs of capacity loss. The cells also remained functional despite repeated bending and twisting.
