According to Yonhap, South Korean research team used the new material graphene (Graphene), successfully developed a high-capacity, Flexible (Flexible) next-generation batteries.

    Education, Science and Technology on Monday said Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) research team successfully developed a super-capacitor (Supercapacitor).

    Graphene's conductivity and high stiffness, known as "super materials."

    Research group found that the nitrogen-doped graphene, the electrolyte ions better with combined capacity of this battery when the graphene than only increased by about 3 times.

    Because graphene itself can be flexible, so the research group also has developed batteries can be flexible in the future this can be used to make clothing or body portable power storage means.

    Containing the above papers have been published in the latest issue of Nanoscale Science magazine, "Nano Letters (Nanoletters)" online edition.

    Research group in that the super capacitor is expected to be applicable to the production of electric vehicles, smart grid and other fields.
