The flexible aluminium battery was created at Stanford University . It consists of a negatively charged aluminium anode and a positively charged graphite cathode along with an ionic liquid electrolyte . It sits in a flexible polymer-coated 'pouch ' and recharges in hours . But it currently offers just half the voltage of existing lithium-ion batteries .
