mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: XDSL), through their wholly owned subsidiary, AlwaysReady, Inc., is bringing nanotechnology from the laboratory into the marketplace. By incorporating a breakthrough in nanotechnology and microfluidics, the company developed an innovative battery architecture that takes advantage of the characteristics of liquids to be super-hydrophobic on a nano-textured surface. The result is an electrolyte separated from the electrode until power is needed, allowing an almost infinite shelf life.
Their featured product is the NanoBattery, which offers a revolutionary approach to conserving energy and power management. Compared to the standard reserve battery, the NanoBattery’s chemical reaction can be stopped, thus allowing the battery not to drain fully. Features of the battery include; environmentally friendly, potentially infinite shelf life, low manufacturing cost, power management functionality, flexible arrayed configurations, and versatile packaging.
The company intends to unveil the NanoBattery into the rapidly emerging field of energy harvesting, as well as other sectors. The field of energy harvesting generally refers to the process of capturing and storing energy. Utilizing prospective energy fields such as solar, wind, thermal, and kinetic energy, the development of alternative energy sources is gaining interest from the public and companies expanding upon research, and there are substantial increases in funding. According to LUX Research, energy storage is a $41 billion market. With potential markets spanning billion-unit industries, energy harvesting could be “the next big thing” in power.
Commenting on the possibilities of energy harvesting and the NanoBattery was mPhase CEO, Ron Durando, “Energy harvesting devices such as solar cells depend on external occurrences such as a sunny day, so they are not always available when power is needed. Because the Smart NanoBattery offers Power on Command™, it provides a convenient integrated power solution, where multiple power sources can work together, building on each of their technical strengths.”
