New 3D-printed electrolyte tech lets engineers create batteries in almost any shape
SMRTR summary
Researchers at UTEP developed a 3D-printable gel electrolyte that allows batteries to be made in almost any shape, potentially freeing designers from standard rectangular battery packs. The printed material conducts ions as well as traditional liquid electrolytes, works in open air, and could soon be used in wearables, medical implants, and aerospace devices.
