Genetically Programming Interfaces between Active Materials, Conductive Pathway and Current Collector in Li Ion Batteries

Abstract

In this work we genetically programmed the M13 virus, so that the new clone expressed multifunctional coat protein sequences that selectively bind to designated surfaces and species. Using these new clones, composite network consisting of ironphosphate nanowire (a-FePO4) and single wall carbon nanotubes were self-assembled onto aluminum surfaces. Spectroscopic and electrochemical characterizations confirmed the 3D-structure as well as the electrochemical activity of such composite nanowires.
