# New aluminium battery is bendable and charges in a minute

Stanford University Professor Hongjie Dai and colleagues have developed the first high-performance aluminum battery that’s fast charging, long lasting and inexpensive. The flexible, non-flammable device produces 2 volts of electricity. The research team was able to generate 5 volts – enough to power a smartphone – using two aluminum batteries and a converter.
