mPhase Explains Key Technology Features of Smart Surface Technology

LITTLE FALLS, NJ, Nov 22, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX –
mPhase Technologies, Inc.
has developed a technology
that exploits the phenomenon of electrowetting or the ability to
electronically manipulate the way liquids behave when in contact with
a solid or porous surface. Liquids such as water will bead up on a
surface that is superhydrophobic, but can be made to move or spread
out by electrowetting. The same is true for an organic liquid if the
surface is superlyophobic.

mPhase is pursuing this emerging technology, which is now being
actively researched at a number of universities who are publicizing
their work on electrowetting, superhydrophobicity and
superlyophobicity.

The technology is being used to create so-called «smart» structures
on metal, ceramic, polymer surfaces and other advanced materials that
can resist getting dirty, fogging up, or forming ice. They also can
be used for displays, lenses and other applications.

To date mPhase has been concentrating on smart battery applications
by exploiting this same electrowetting phenomenon in their Smart
NanoBattery by manipulating the liquid electrolyte via a proprietary
porous silicon structure shown in Figure 1.

The breakthrough has enabled a unique reserve-style battery
architecture that has proven adaptable to a wide range of
chemistries, with the initial development based on zinc manganese
dioxide (Zn/MnO2 chemistries, similar to the typical alkaline
battery used in a flashlight or TV remote control, as well as
development focused on higher-energy density, lithium manganese
dioxide (Li/MnO2, chemistries found in laptops, cell phones and
digital cameras. Future applications that can be implemented within
the same architecture include rechargeable batteries based on
lithium-based chemistries.

These correlate to first launching and proving out the technology for
a reserve battery, then a primary cell with the Zn/MnO2 or Li/MnO2
chemistries, and later a secondary (rechargeable battery.

At that point, if completed the family of mPhase Batteries will be
(reserve, primary and secondary potentially serving a wide range of
applications.
