A new technology from South Korea promises to triple the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries

A new technology developed by a group of South Korean scientists can triple the efficiency and in turn the capacity of lithium-ion batteries, according to a report from the country’s science ministry.

The scientists of Seoul National University have found out a way to increase the capacity of the lithium-ion battery by three times by using a nano structure of iron oxide and manganese oxide instead of the lead, as the cathode of the battery, which is currently being used.

The latest innovation will also enhance the efficiency of the battery and the prototype battery module is said to have lost less than 0.5% of its performance even after numerous recharge cycles.
 
Methinks they need to invent a battery that uses CO2 to power it ;)
 
Does this mean my S3 could last until lunch time without charging?
 
Break-throughs in battery tech seem to be coming thick and fast now!! Exciting times ahead.

It's only exciting if they manage to implement the bloody tech. I've read many articles like this over the years but nothing ever seems to change.
