Panasonic announced that they have succeeded in significantly increasing the capacity of its Lithium-Ion battery modules. To achieve an increase of 30% in their capacity, they modified the two electrodes, a key points with these products. The positive electrode they improved the manufacturing processes containing nickel while for the negative. it is no longer made from carbon, but a mixture of silicon and silver. They hope to start their mass production at the beginning of 2012, and should offer at the same time the first fuel-cell battery able to generate up to with 100W of energy. Even though they speak of a portable battery that uses fuel, we do not know his size, but there is obviously no chance that it fits into a computer and this will limit interest in it. It will also probably be prohibited in the aircraft cabin, since its fuel is a highly flammable liquid.
