2 Examples for Energy Storage Applications
Smart nanobatterymPhase Technologies, the company behind a nanotechnology-enabled
battery with unlimited shelf life, has posted a video demonstration of its
Smart Nanobattery on YouTube.The video illustrates in layman's
terminology some fundamental concepts behind the smart nano battery.
The company has proven it is possible to fabricate nanotech-based "smart"
batteries, which can store reserve power for decades and generate electric
current virtually on demand.
