From laptops to cars, society has come to rely on rechargeable batteries — and the demand is only growing. This surge means researchers are racing to figure out the most efficient ways to manage this type of energy storage.
While current designs utilize microparticle-based technology, it’s insufficient for the most affordable, safe and efficient batteries possible. Given advances in nanotechnology, Dibakar Datta, an associate professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology, is interested in deploying nanoparticles as battery electrodes.
