Nanobatteries
are fabricated batteries employing technology
at the nanoscale,
a scale of minuscule particles that measure less than 100 nanometers or 100x10-9 meters. In comparison,
traditional Li-Ion technology
uses active materials, such as cobalt-oxide, with particles that range in
size between 5 and 20 micrometres. It is hoped that nano-engineering
will improve many of the failings of present battery technology, such as re-charging time and battery
'memory'.
