Paint Can Be a Battery - U.S. researchers have developed a paint that can transmit electrical power as lithium-ion batteries used to. This discovery makes the battery energy distribution is more compact, but still confined to a box or cylinder-shaped batteries alone, as reported by Reuters.
Researchers from Rice University, Houston, Texas, has found a way to break down each element of the traditional battery and mix into a liquid-like wall paint, and can be used in a variety of electronic equipment. 
"It's easier for storage and use of all types of electronic equipment that use traditional batteries, as it becomes more flexible," said study leader Pulickel Ajayan.
The rechargeable battery is made in the form of spray paint that serves as a layer, and serves as a component in traditional batteries. Paint coating is sprayed on the material type of ceramic, glass, stainless steel, and ceramic mugs in a curve, to work out how these layers work on household appliances. The drawback of this technology is the application procedure, because it's hard to set the liquid electrolyte, as well as environmental needs of the dry and airtight for the creation of this new tool.
Neelam Singh, one of the researchers in this project believe that these technologies can be integrated with solar cells to make energy saving electronics. The technology was tested using nine pieces are plated bathroom floor with paint and dihubungkan.Saat each other in a state filled, the diode is on for six hours in a steady 2.4 volts. The findings were published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports.
