New battery breakthrough leverages nanotechnology and microstructures. The nanotubes are a hybrid consisting of a carbon nanotube core and a metal oxide outer coating.
Pulickel Ajayan, the Rice University Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and leader of the team, states, "It's a nice bit of nanoscale engineering. Although the combination of these materials has been studied as a composite electrode by several research groups, it's the coaxial cable design of these materials that offers improved performance as electrodes for lithium batteries."
