Batteries based on chemical transformations store energy in chemical bonds, such as Li–S and Li–O (ref. 4) and can achieve high energy density and are predicted to be a low-cost technology due to the abundance of sulfur and oxygen. In this section, we review how nanotechnology is playing a key role in enabling this type of batteries.
We first review the critical role of nanotechnology in enabling cathode and anode materials of LIBs. Then, we summarize the use of nanotechnology in other battery systems beyond Li-ion, including Li–S and Li–O 2, which we believe have the greatest potential to meet the high-energy requirement for EV applications.
Nanobatteries are fabricated batteries employing technology at the nanoscale, particles that measure less than 100 nanometers or 10 −7 meters. These batteries may be nano in size or may use nanotechnology in a macro scale battery. Nanoscale batteries can be combined to function as a macrobattery such as within a nanopore battery.
Nanomaterials can be used as a coating to separate the electrodes from any liquids in the battery, when the battery is not in use. In the current battery technology, the liquids and solids interact, causing a low level discharge. This decreases the shelf life of a battery. Nanotechnology provides its own challenges in batteries:
