NEC introduced the world's thinnest battery

NEC engineers in Japan have developed a flexible flexible battery with a thickness of only 0.33mm and can be charged in just 30 seconds.

NEC stated that the battery was developed for use in applications such as RFID tags ( Radio Frequency Identifications ) and could provide enough power to enable these cards to operate for a few weeks without additional charge. .

The battery is derived from 'organic batteries', a technology developed by NEC that allows the use of friendly materials in comparison from the types of chemical substances found in batteries. usually other. According to NEC's introduction, the company has started to develop in this area since 2000.

These thin batteries are important for RFID tags. Most of these cards are 'passive' devices. They are unable to send data themselves, only operate in areas with radio waves and with distances of only a few centimeters. The improved card will be more like radio transmitters, can send data at wider distances, so they can be read without having to be near a reader again.

Earlier this year, NEC introduced a larger version, considered a source of emergency energy storage for personal computers. This battery will help maintain the PC within 15 seconds after the main source is disconnected, enough time to back up data and shutdown.
