Popis: The remarkable recent advances in wireless and portable communications devices (e.g., laptop computers, cellular phones, portable digital assistants) have fueled a need for high-energy-density portable power sources for consumer use. Similarly, interest in portable power sources has increased in the military and intelligence communities. Currently, portable military electronics are dependent on batteries to supply electrical power for long-duration missions. This poses two major problems which result from the low energy density of current battery systems: excessive weight/bulk, and reduced mission duration.
