Researchers from the Korean Institute of Advanced Science (KAIST) said that graphene could be used to create flexible batteries. The researchers developed graphene based on a hybrid electrode and a rechargeable lithium battery that produces an elasticity. Cathode material (V2O5) is graphene coated with anode lithium and reset by long pulse laser of graphene sheet.

This kind of battery has higher energy density, power density and better cycle life than ordinary batteries. The research team is now using solid polymer electrolytes to expand its performance. They also believe that this technology can be used not only for ordinary batteries, but also for solar cells, OLED displays and catalysis.
