 Technology like this is applicable to solar cells, supercapacitors, light-emitting diodes and smart radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.By using nanomaterial, Toshiba has increased the surface area of the lithium and widened the bottleneck, allowing the particles to pass through the liquid and recharge the battery more quickly.Toshiba states that it tested a new battery by discharging and fully recharging one thousand times at 77 ºC and found that it lost only one percent of its capacity, an indication of a long battery life.
