Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for flexible batteries and methods for forming flexible batteries. A flexible battery can include a borophene sheet, a pyroelectric peptide microtubule, and a borophene cap. A first end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule can be located adjacent to the borophene sheet and the borophene cap can be located at a second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule. The borophene cap can collect a charge created by the pyroelectric peptide microtubule. The flexible battery also can include a collection wire that directs the charge to a borophene capacitor charge system.
Claims20
A flexible battery comprising:
- a borophene sheet;
- a pyroelectric peptide microtubule, wherein a first end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule is located adjacent to the borophene sheet;
- a borophene cap located at a second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule, wherein the borophene cap collects a charge created by the pyroelectric peptide microtubule;
- and
- a collection wire located at the second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule, wherein the collection wire directs the charge to a borophene capacitor charge system.
A flexible battery comprising:
- a borophene sheet;
- an elastic sheet attached to the borophene sheet;
- a pyroelectric peptide microtubule, wherein a first end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule is located adjacent to the elastic sheet;
- a borophene cap located at a second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule, wherein the borophene cap collects a charge created by the pyroelectric peptide microtubule;
- an insulating ring located at the second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule;
- and
- a collection wire located at the second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule, wherein the collection wire directs the charge to a borophene capacitor charge system.
A method comprising:
- connecting, by a flexible battery manufacturing device, a first side of a borophene sheet to an elastic sheet, wherein the borophene sheet has a thickness of one atom;
- connecting, by the flexible battery manufacturing device, a first end of a pyroelectric peptide microtubule to a second side of the borophene sheet;
- connecting, by the flexible battery manufacturing device, a borophene cap to a second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule, wherein the borophene cap collects a charge generated by the pyroelectric peptide microtubule;
- connecting, by the flexible battery manufacturing device, a collection wire to the second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule;
- and
- connecting, by the flexible battery manufacturing device, the collection wire to a borophene capacitor charge system, wherein the borophene capacitor charge system stores the charge.
