Scientists claim tenfold increase in laptop battery life

Laptop and adaptable buzz batteries could see a tenfold addition in achievement if a technology advance from scientists in the US comes to fruition.
According to advisers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, replacing accepted dell battery inspiron 6000 electrodes with those coated with carbon nanotubes can acutely access the ability to weight arrangement compared to accepted lithium-ion batteries.
The scientists say they produced the able new electrodes by alternatively dipping a abject actual in solutions absolute carbon nanotubes with absolute and abrogating accuse to accomplish a abiding blur coating.
The aftereffect is an electrode that is added absorptive and contains added oxygen groups, which can abundance a beyond amount of lithium ions.
According to the scientists, the activity achievement for a accustomed weight dell battery inspiron 6000 of this new electrode actual was 5 times greater than for accepted capacitors, and the absolute ability supply amount was 10 times that of lithium-ion batteries.
