For the first time, Catherine zandonellagen used genetically engineered viruses assembled into electrodes to make a complete miniature rechargeable battery.
The team for the work claimed that the new lithium-ion battery is as powerful as the existing equipment, but is smaller and cleaner.
This technology can improve the performance of hybrid cars and electronic devices.
Lithium-ion batteries generate current using the reactivity of lithium.
Inside the battery, the lithium ion moves from the anode to the cathode, forcing the electrons to move in the opposite direction around the external circuit.
