South Korea has developed the world's most efficient battery is two times the existing battery Author: Toshio Baba,

Local Time this week, three South Korean IBM 08K8199 Battery scientists say they have developed a new prototype flexible solar cells. According to scientists, the newly developed flexible solar cells is now the world's most efficient batteries.

According to Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) development team leader Ryu Gwang-seon said, it is noteworthy that the new flexible solar cell manufacturing cost is very low, after testing with traditional silicon-based solar cells than it is produce the most efficient current.

Gwang-seon said in a telephone IBM 92P1073 Battery different from the traditional silicon-based solar cells, scientists have newly developed products to titanium oxide, pigments, and the electrolyte layer sandwiched between thin plastic and stainless steel plating to protect. Scientists said the new solar cell thickness of only 0.4 mm, which convert solar energy into electrical energy efficiency of existing solar cells is almost twice.

Gwang-seon said: "We, including the United States and Japan, including six countries submitted a document, register a new solar energy technology is being patented. End of this year, we plan to transfer this technology to the enterprise, making it as soon as possible commercialization." He added that the new solar cell has soft features, this product will be used for future mobile phones and laptop battery computers, it is relatively resistant to impact, mounted on glass can be used in the automotive industry.

Gwang-seon said the new flexible solar cells can be attached to the tie on consumers, will come from the sun's energy into a current post for portable electronic devices. He said that his development team after a four-year study to develop a new solar cells.

He refused to disclose the details of investing in the technology, but cites the investment plan is now underway.

Electronics and Telecommunications IBM 92P1077 Battery Research Institute, said the new product development is the South Korean government to seek national information technology industry, new revenue sources part of the plan. The Academy said in a statement, in the global solar cell market is expected to market size in 2010 will reach 10 billion U.S. dollars.
