Nokia Bell Labs, Amber researchers formulate new battery design for 5G world

Researchers at Nokia Bell Labs and Amber, the SFI Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research hosted at Trinity College Dublin, announced they created a new, innovative formula for battery composition that makes batteries more powerful by packing 2.5 times the battery life than other existing products. The product responds to the increasing power requirements of connected devices such as smartphones, drones, electric cars and robots that require greater battery performance for both new applications as well as longer battery lifetimes.

The new battery design also has far-reaching implications for 4G and 5G networks where conventional power may not be available for network equipment, or where emergency backup battery systems are essential to keep systems running.

An additional benefit to this new technology is its potential to improve the performance of large-scale energy grids powered by renewable energy.

A patent has been filed to protect this new technology design and help bring it to the marketplace. A study discussing the battery research performed by Nokia Bell Labs and Amber was published in Nature Energy.
