IP: United States Patent Application 20060216603 Kind Code A1 Choi; Sung H. September 28, 2006 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery based on nanostructures
Abstract
A nanowire-based Li-ion rechargeable battery having superior performance with little capacity fade for use in applications including consumer electronics and medical devices is made by incorporating nanowire construction of the cathode. The nanowire-based battery system includes a nanostructured high surface area cathode structure fabricated by electrodeposition using alumina nanopore templates.
