Battery with a large size, heavy, and thick in everyday life is very useful to give energy to a variety of electronic items seem to be immediately trashed. Scientists in England create the next generation technology of thin battery that was created is shaped like a plastic sheet that can store and release electrical energy. Next generation technology of this battery will change the way we use cell phones, driving a car, or maybe it could also change the way we dress.

Next generation technology from a variety of gadgets that we use may be as thin as a credit card. Such further technology also brings us into the computer age with flexible screens that can be folded, rolled, and easy to carry like a sheet of thin paper. It is not possible anyway, the plastic material of energy storage can be used to make electric clothing that can recharge gadgets energy needs for the traveling person.

"Actually, the developed material is not material for the battery, but a super capacitor materials," said Dr Emile Greenhalgh from Imperial College London. Greenhalgh developed prototype square with five-inch size and stacked to resemble a very thin wafers. It takes five seconds while recharging the energy required to light the LED for 20 minutes.

Greenhalgh was then working with the Volvo car company, to use the batteries in electric cars Volvo. "We think the car in the future could fill the energy from the roof of the house or even the door, thanks to this thin batteries," said Greenhalgh. Applications of next-generation technology of these batteries do not just stop there. According to Greenhalgh, findings allow people to more easily travel anywhere, because no longer need to carry large, heavy and thick.

"It could be a laptop to get energy from the casing itself so that could be more durable. No one had ever created such material. Within the next decade, conventional battery technology will be replaced with the next generation of batteries like this," said Greenhalgh.
