apple patents point to slimmer battery tech - energy storage devices

In 2010, magic material Paul MarksGraphene won the Nobel Prize, and his sparkling array of electrical and thermal properties will soon help Apple's iphone and ipad increase power.
The company has applied for a patent from the United States (2013/0136966)on a graphene-
Radiator for lithium batteries and circuit boards in tablets and smartphones.
Graphene is a form of carbon that takes a single-
The atoms are thick and they are arranged in honeycomb shape.
Its thermal conductivity is 10 times better than graphite, which is usually used as a radiator in mobile devices.
However, in order to give the battery enough cooling, the graphite coating usually has a thickness of 30 microns.
Ramesh Bhardwaj, the inventor of Fremont, California, explained in Apple's patent application that this took up space in the gadget housing that could be used for larger batteries.
By coating the polypropylene battery shell with graphene, the radiator can take up a fraction of the same heat dissipation space in the graphite version-allowing for a larger, longer time, he said --
Durable battery to install.
Graphene is also being explored as a substance for storing electricity in the future
Replace the battery and super capacitor.
Researchers at the University of Manchester (Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov separated graphene there in 2004) have just started a study.

The core of the storage device is the magical material.
In another battery patent application filed this week, Apple gave more clues that it was actually working on a watch --
As CEO Tim Cook hinted last week.
In US patent 2013/0136967, the company described
Manufacturing techniques behind making curved batteries-including how to apply the duration pressure to flexible lithium batteries to create curves, a bit like wood guitar manufacturers might use wooden boards.
