Using nanotechnology to improve Li-ion battery performance
April 11, 2008 | Source: Nanowerk News
Chinese scientists have developed 500-nanometer lithium-ion-battery electrode materials using tin nanoparticles encapsulated in elastic hollow carbon-nanotube-based spheres, replacing conventional graphite.
The scientists have found that the new materials provide higher initial and long-term ampere-hours capacity, prolonging battery life.
