NEC Corporation (NIPNY) has developed a new type of rechargeable battery called an Organic Radical Battery or ORB (press release). The battery is more environmentally friendly than current rechargeable batteries because it can be manufactured without any harmful chemicals, and does not contain any harmful metals.

Some other points about the battery:

• Very Thin (300 microns), and bendable (could be used for electronic paper, or RFID tags)
• Charges in less than 30 seconds
• A high energy density of approximately 1 mWh (mili Watt hour) per cm squared
