Rechargeable battery technology has indeed come a long way, but the evolution is slow. Nickel-cadmium [Ni-Cad] gave way to nickel-metal hydride [NiMH], which eventually gave […]

The invention involves the printing of a striped pattern of energy storage materials and highly conductive materials. The resulted electrodes are thicker than conventional ones, but can increase the energy stored in a battery by 10 to 30 percent.
