Carbon nanotube process pushes 10x Li-ion battery power to market

摘要

A technology-licensing agreement between MIT and Contour Energy Systems will enable Contour to commercialize a breakthrough carbon nanotuberntechnology. Early findings from researchers at MIT confirm that using carbon nanotubes for battery electrodes can produce a tenfold increase in the amount of power that can be delivered from a given weight of material when compared to a conventional lithium-ion battery, and this performance can be sustained across thousands of charge-discharge cycles.
