yesterday Published an article《 How far is the transparent smart phone from us? 》It is mentioned that Baochuang Technology Co., Ltd. has launched a prototype of a fully transparent smart phone. The whole prototype is almost a piece of transparent glass except for the switch, camera, Micro SD card, camera and battery. Baochuang has solved the circuit problem of transparent mobile phones, but we found another problem. In this prototype mobile phone, only a small button battery is used to ensure the basic display. If you can make the battery transparent, you can boldly make the battery larger to ensure power supply for mobile phones.
In fact, the battery life problem has not been solved yet. We now require the battery to be flexible and transparent. Is it too difficult for the battery brother? For this reason, the battery brother has chosen a multi direction development. We published some time ago《 How far are flexible phones from us 》As mentioned in the article, flexible batteries have developed to a certain extent, but transparent batteries are not lagging behind.
Transparent battery is supplying power to an LED light
In the United States, Cui Yi, associate professor of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Stanford University, and his doctoral students Yang Yuan, Hu Liangbing and other research teams have developed a transparent lithium-ion battery. The shape of this transparent battery is like a "transparent screen". The battery has multiple functions and features, powerful power, good flexibility, and the cost is comparable to that of conventional batteries, which can be said to be good quality and low price.
Scientists have manipulated the electrode of the battery to make it transparent. By changing the electrode structure, the research team overturned the original idea of only thinning the electrode thickness to achieve transparency. The electrode of the transparent battery is a grid structure. The width of each line in the grid is about 35 microns (the human eye's resolution is between 50 and 100 microns. If the material is less than 50 microns, the human eye looks transparent). Because a single line is so small, the light will pass through the transparent gap between the network lines, and the entire mesh area looks transparent.
The whole mesh area looks transparent
At present, the only defect of this transparent battery is that the energy density of the transparent battery is lower than that of the ordinary lithium battery, which is similar to that of the nickel cadmium battery. However, the energy density of this transparent battery is being improved by improving the material performance. It is believed that in the future, fully transparent electronic products equipped with transparent batteries will be around the corner.
The arrival of such a battery will certainly promote the realization of fully transparent smart phones. Fully transparent smart phones will no longer be just concept phones. In real life, it will no longer be just a dream for us to have a super cool fully transparent mobile phone. And the arrival of such a mobile phone will also change the current situation of the smart phone industry. Xiao Bian wants to say that if the iPhone 6 is made delicate and transparent, Cook may be able to turn the salted fish around.
