Research Insights Tiny batteries formed inside
Post# of 22456
Tiny batteries formed inside nanopores were used to demonstrate that properly scaled nanostructures can utilize the full theoretical capacity of the charge storage material while their ion insertion processes occur very fast, much like what happens at the surface of a double-layer capacitor.
Science Impact
These nanobatteries delivered their stored energy efficiently at high power (fast charge and discharge) and for extended cycling, demonstrating that precise nanostructures can be constructed to assess the fundamentals of ion and electron transport in nanostructures for energy storage and to test the limits of 3-D nanobattery technology.
