S.Korean scientist uses virus to develop new lithium ion battery

(Asia In Focus Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)SEOUL, April 7 Asia in Focus - A research team led by a South Korean scientist claimed Friday to have used genetic engineering to develop a more advanced lithium ion battery. The team led by Nam Ki-tae, a bio-engineering doctoral candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, said that they have produced battery electrodes by transforming proteins on the surface of viruses into nanowires, microscopic wires one-thousand the width of a human hair, and then lining them up to store electric power.



* The nanowires allowed for the storage of up to two to three times more power than that retained by carbon electrodes used in regular lithium ion batteries, the team said.

* The team claimed it is the first time biological nanotechnology has been used to develop practical battery technology that delivers higher efficiency, broadening the horizons for nano battery development.
