It is theoretically possible that the charging power of quantum batteries increases faster than the size of the battery which could allow new ways to speed charging. An international team of researchers (Australia, UK, Italy) built several wafer-like microcavities of different sizes containing organic semiconductor materials that store energy. They contained different numbers of organic molecules. Each was charged using a laser. Underlying the superabsorbing effect of the quantum batteries is the idea that all the molecules act collectively through quantum superposition. As the microcavity size increased and the number of molecules increased, the charging time decreased. This marks a major milestone in the development of the quantum battery. The idea of the quantum battery has the potential to significantly impact energy capture and storage in renewable energy and in miniature electronic devices…read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLEÂ
