Nanode Battery Technologies

Cell phones. Laptops. Electric vehicles. More and more of life’s accessories, necessities and luxu ries are powered by rechargeable batteries. What if that rechargeable battery could keep your cell phone charged 10 hours longer, or power your electric vehicle to travel 250 miles further? That’s the kind of advancement Bing Cao, Founder of Nanode Battery Technologies, says is possible. Bing and her team developed a different design and production method of the anode portion of batteries, the part where lithium or sodium ions are stored. Power is generated by the movement of these ions, and by using a metal alloy anode rather than the conventional graphite, Nanode can extend the energy storage capacity. Not only that, by revolutionizing the production of this metal alloy into a free-standing ribbon, Nanode is able to cut down on production time and costs, making for a more efficient and cost-effective battery. The company believes their anode has five times the energy density at half the cost of conventional rechargeable batteries. Now that’s a positive change.
