Battery life and charging are constantly on our minds. We’re always looking for power sources to make sure our smartphones don’t die, and battery performance is always one factor worth considering when purchasing a new gadget. Many companies are looking at ways of improving batteries, and researchers from China and America had a breakthrough finding that might lead to longer-lasting, better-performing batteries in the future.
The new technology can prolong the life of a battery by up to four times the current lifespan. This doesn’t mean they’ll be able to hold a charge four times longer than existing batteries, but that their chemical components won’t be depleted as fast as with current batteries. Future batteries would thus lose overall capacity at a much slower pace than current ones.
