The average smartphone is charged
every day
At least.

My smartphone battery is way too small
And… it’s getting smaller!

A smartphone is a small device
■ Battery design is limited by physical constraints: ● a few cm long / wide, ● a few mm thick
![Page 12: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Batteries are not diamonds
■ Capacity drops with time ● A pool of new 1500mAh Li-ion batteries for
smartphones is tested. ● All packs show a starting capacity of 88–94 percent
and decrease in capacity to 73–84 percent after 250 full discharge cycles.

Some recent progress
■ Progress is still there, but slowing down
![Page 15: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Battery density progress
■ Performance in battery density hasn’t progressed much for 20 years
Conclusion: ● Battery capacity is capped by the device’s size.

Power demand increases
■ In the meantime, power demande inside the smartphone has increased
■ Mainly due to the new features being available : Wider screens GPS 3G, now 4G/LTE NFC Better audio rendering, and so on…

Let’s look at some solutions
![Page 20: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Three ways to get more power at any time:
1. Better batteries Wanted: innovative technology
2. Alternative power supplies If 1 battery is not enough, get 2
3. Harvesting power devices
Carry your own personnal power plant

1 – Better batteries ■ Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have established themselves as a leader in energy and
power densities for mobile applications. These batteries account for a market worth more than $10 billion. However, the reign of Li-ion will soon be threatened by next-generation batteries.
■ Operating systems like Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X are increasingly being deployed in handheld smart phones and tablets and system complexities will only grow with time and in smaller, thinner devices. Batteries are a major roadblock today on the way to this goal: The thin, small, lightweight batteries of today simply do not pack the energy required by truly novel consumer electronics.
■ The incumbent, Li-ion, will put up a worthy fight but by 2020, solid-state will draw close as current complex manufacturing processes that are a challenge today are solved, costs fall and energy densities rise. From this foundation, it will surge past Li-ion in technical value by 2030.
■ Li-S will also make strong progress, but won’t quite match the well-rounded value propositions of solid-state and advancing Li-ion, finding only niche consumer electronics applications that prize excellent specific energy above all else.
■ Li-air is a non-factor in this sector, hampered by its volumetric inefficiency and its need for peripherals.
■ The road to technologies like Li-air, Li-S, and solid-state batteries is long, but the time to start paying attention and tracking the development of specific companies, technologies and applications is now. ● Source: Lux Research report “Beyond Lithium-Ion: A Roadmap for Next-Generation Batteries” — client

1 – Better batteries: 30 seconds charge
■ Israeli startup StoreDot has demonstrated this April the prototype of a nanodot-based smartphone battery it claims can fully charge in just under 30 seconds.
■ But such claims have already been made by the past… ■ The road to mass-production is long and steep.

2 – Carry more power
■ Spare battery ● Not all devices have accessible batteries (!) ● battery swapping resets the phone
■ Power supply ● Come in a variety of capacity
and shapes
![Page 25: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Yes, quite a variety of shapes
![Page 26: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

3. Harvesting
■ Researchers have begun to think about
abandoning batteries altogether.
■ The alternative would mean harvesting energy from sources outside of our devices
![Page 28: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

3. When walking, dancing…
■ The battery, developed by Zhong Lin Wang and colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology ● converts the kinetic energy from motion into chemical energy ● which can then be used to power any device.
■ By placing the battery on the bottom of a shoe, for example, it could generate energy with every step.

3. When sunbathing…
■ This Solar Mio Pro is a USB power pack with a solar-charging sidekick.
■ When unfurled, the solar array covers 18.1" x 8.7". ■ Six individual panels are set into a rugged fabric sheet that can
be laid flat or curved to stand vertically

3. Even when being dressed up!
■ This dress is fitted with flexible solar cells
■ This bikini too!
![Page 32: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Let’s sum it up
■ Current batteries aren’t up to the task
● And won’t be for the years to come
■ Some solutions exist ● But the trade off is always increasing bulk and cost
■ Are we stuck ?

Is there another way out of here ?
![Page 35: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Power demand is not constant
■ A smartphone’s power consumption depends on its activity
![Page 36: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Let’s work on user’s side!
■ The aim :
● Adjust the settings constantly
so that the device is always up and ready for the task
to perform
Nothing less, but nothing more
● Check that each task is useful
![Page 37: European Green IT Webinar 2014 - The Green Little Men (France)s](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a348b81a28abc81f8b4823/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
It’s complicated! More than 100 settings in a smartphone What’s for doing what?
