3D-Nanostructures-Path to High Capacity Lithium Batteries

Thin film technology (2D) producing lithium ion accumulators has nearly been optimized. The capacity limits are given by the thickness of the components, especialy the foils and separators.

It has been demonstrated that a significant increase of lithium battery capacity is achievable by nanostructured morphologies of the electrodes and extending of the electrode thickness from micrometers (2D) to millimeters (3D).

The HE3DA^® batteries based on several millimeters thick electrodes is ideal for high capacity micro batteries and large energy storage modules.
