Converting Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Into Batteries
Current advancements working with carbon nanotube electrodes show the capacity for multifunctionality as a lithium-ion storage material and as an electrically conductive support for other high capacity materials like silicon or germanium. It is recognized that the inclusion of carbon as an additive in the creation of electrodes, or as a coating of the electrodes enhances the electronic conductivity and capacity efficiency of Li-ion and other battery systems. Paper Battery Company’s technology is based on never-noticed-before combinations of supercapacitor power and energy densities, combined with ultrathin footprints and placement options. The next step in the method is to cycle the battery while in TEM so that the reside deterioration can be observed.
Because of the big surface area and porous structure of the nanotube electrodes, there are a lot of areas for the ions to react, and they can travel in and out quickly, which gives the nanotube battery higher …
