Paper Thin Batteries

NEC has posted some news in there news room about a newly developed battery, and this is not the types of batteries we have in our homes, I am talking about a battery only 0.3mm thick.
This is truly an ultra-thin, flexible and quick charging battery titled “Organic Radical Battery”. Not only is it very, very thin but can also be recharged in about 30 seconds.
This sort of tech will change all our lives in the coming 10 years, and you could see this technology in RFID tags, IC cards, electronic paper. You could be walking around with your new designer clothing on that’s a real and working wearable computer…the future looks bright.

Key features of the Organic Radical Battery:
The future must be about the environment and so the Organic Radical Battery does not contain any harmful metals.
A high energy density (If the ORB was used in an active RFID device, it would give tens of thousands of signal transmissions on a single charge.
An ultra-fast charging speed of less than 30 seconds.
The structure is bendable and pliant, as flexible plastic is used as the cathode material.
Can be embedded into objects such as intelligent paper and smartcards in the future thanks to its thin structure of just 300 microns.
