As 5G, which uses higher terminal energy consumption, becomes more common, the phones in consumers’ hands must adapt to support the power requirements of the next generation network. Therefore, Nokia Bell Labs and Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research (AMBER) have developed new battery technology that may double the battery life of mobile phones without making them heavier.

　　According to a release Thursday, the researchers filed a patent to protect the design and begin commercialization as soon as possible.

　　"By packing more energy into less space, this new battery technology will have a profound impact on 5G and the entire networked world," said Paul King, one of the project's lead researchers and a technical fellow at Nokia Bell Labs. said the press release.

　　In addition, the new technology also describes improvements in power supply for industry to better maintain renewable energy grids, consumer services and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), especially to manage the high energy fluctuations of wind and solar technologies.

　　A study published by WoodMackenzie in February suggested that energy storage requirements for a 100% renewable system could be 25 times higher compared to today's systems. For these upcoming challenges, the need for efficient, fast charging and compact energy storage becomes even more urgent.
