‘Redox flow’ batteries simultaneously cool and power chips

“The new micro-battery also reaches a record-high in terms of output for its size.

Researchers at ETH Zurich and IBM Research Zurich have built a new type of tiny redox flow battery that will supply tightly packed electronic components with energy, while also dissipating the heat they produce.

The redox flow battery is only 1.5mm thick and would allow computer chip stacks (where a stack consists of individual chips stacked on top of each other to save space and energy) to be supplied with electrical power and cooled at the same time by such integrated flow batteries…”
