These small energy storage devices could one day be used to power the electronics and mechanical components of tiny micro- to nano-scale devices.
In Los Angeles an engineer is designing one component of these batteries: the electrolyte that allows charge to flow between electrodes. She presents her results in New Mexico.
- Coating well-ordered micro-pillars or nano-wires
- Fabricated to maximize the surface-to-volume ratio, and thus the potential energy density
- With electrolyte, the conductive material that allows current to flow in a battery.
- Using atomic layer deposition
