Flexible battery

Caption

The areal capacity for this innovative battery is 50 milliamps per square centimeter at room temperature--this is 10-20 times greater than the areal capacity of a typical Lithium ion battery. So for the same surface area, the battery described in Joule can provide 5 to 10 times more power.
