Development and Characterization of Nanobattery Systems

Abstract

Due to their nanoscale dimensions, nanobattery systems can have many advantages. The electrodes can have higher capacities, lower resistance and faster electron transfer kinetics. In addition we have found that solid electrolytes confined to nanoscale dimensions can have as much as an order of magnitude or greater increase in ion conductivity than the same electrolyte not under those conditions. These factors combine to create the potential for an interesting new power source, both in terms of technological applications and models for nanoscale understanding. This work involved the construction and characterization of nanobattery systems. Also, the nanoelectrochemical techniques necessary to do characterization of these nanopower systems was developed, resulting in new methods for understanding nanodevices.
