# Battery Killers Litroenergy Power Cells By Steve Stark | Published 2008-10-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electrical-power-generation-litroenergy-power-cells References: [createthefuturecontest](http://www.createthefuturecontest.com/pages/view/entriesdetail.html?entryID=2692) & [LITROENERGY](http://www.LITROENERGY.com) An award-winning new light source material called Litroenergy was just announced that can generate electricity 24/7 for 20+ years. The technology aims to replace batteries, and was just featured in the [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-origami-technology) Tech Briefs Create the Future Design Contest. Generating low-cost electricity for everything from micro devices to utility applications has groundbreaking implications and has potential to turn the [battery business](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paleblue-usbc-cells) upside down. Litroenergy is made from litrospheres, which are self-illuminating micro particles that, when they are placed on or sandwiched between solar cells, generate electricity. The light-emitting microparticles are not affected by heat or cold and can be used in sheet form for easy application on solar cells. This green technology opens many opportunities for powering anything that requires electricity, such a cell phone, electric car or a home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Energy Generation:** Litroenergy's ability to generate low-cost electricity for 20+ years disrupts the battery industry and opens opportunities for sustainable energy solutions. - **Micro Power Sources:** The use of litrospheres as self-illuminating micro particles to generate electricity disrupts the traditional reliance on batteries and creates new opportunities for powering small devices. - **Sheet Application Technology:** The sheet form of litrospheres allows for easy application on solar cells, disrupting traditional manufacturing processes and opening opportunities for efficient and cost-effective power generation. ### Where This Applies - **Battery Manufacturing:** The innovation of Litroenergy power cells poses a disruptive threat to the battery manufacturing industry, pushing for the need to adapt or find new markets. - **Renewable Energy:** The sustainable and continuous energy generation capabilities of Litroenergy present disruptive innovation opportunities within the renewable energy industry. - **Consumer Electronics:** The ability to power cell phones, electric cars, and homes with Litroenergy creates opportunities for the consumer electronics industry to shift away from traditional batteries and embrace sustainable energy solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Saltwater-Powered Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litepulse-ecolantern.md) - [Ultra-Thin Battery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-storage-technology.md) - [Heatwave-Resistant Alkaline Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-electric-power.md) - [Paper-Based Energy Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-battery.md) - [Advanced Sustainable Energy Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-energy-solutions.md) - [High-Performance Appliance Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backup-by-biolite.md) - [High-Density Battery Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energydense-lithium-batteries.md) - [Ambient Light-Powered Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-800-selfcharging-bluetooth-keyboard.md) - [Sustainable Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern.md)
