The material is called a “nanoscoop” because it resembles a cone with a scoop of ice cream on top. Nanoscoops can withstand extremely high rates of charge and discharge that would cause today’s Li-Ion batteries to rapidly deteriorate and fail.

The Future of Battery Technologies: Environmental Considerations for Lithium Batteries
Intertek
There is a growing awareness of and interest in environmental issues across all sectors of society in recent years. Many people argue that our long-term survival depends upon reducing our impact on nature and that we must stop releasing toxic materials into the environment. Batteries are not yet covered by legislation on chemicals, but the “Regulation on Batteries,” which is based on the EU Battery Directive, governs the use of certain heavy metals in batteries.

Lithium-Ion Battery – Potential Business Opportunities
Vishal Sapru, Research Manager Power Supplies & Batteries, Frost & Sullivan
The US is a significant market for lithium-ion batteries for consumer, industrial and automotive applications in the North American region. The economic recession had a significant impact in the demand for lithium-ion batteries, particularly for consumer and industrial portable devices. This was witnessed by a decline in demand during the first two quarters of 2009, caused by decreasing demand for consumer electronic devices in the US.
However, signs of recovery began from the third quarter of 2009, with industrial application showing quick revival and consumer applications gaining strength. Read more about Lithium-Ion Battery – Potential Business Opportunities …
Wax, Soap Clean Up Obstacles to Better Batteries
A little wax and soap can help build electrodes for cheaper lithium ion batteries. The one-step method will allow battery developers to explore lower-priced alternatives to the lithium ion-metal oxide batteries currently on the market.

Safety and Protection for Advanced Lithium Batteries
Marko Dimitrijevic, Applications Engineer, International Components Corp.
Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries have increasingly become the enabler of modern portable technology products ranging from laptop computers, communications handsets and medical equipment. Contemporary Li-Ion cells offer energy densities that are significantly higher than legacy battery chemistries such as nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMh) and lead acid (LA).
