« Previous Entries Next Entries »The Benefits of CNT Battery
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009The present invention provides an Active Carbon Nanotube battery (CNT), which can receive and provide large current recharging/discharging to shorten charging time, and has a high power ratio to reduce the battery weight in order to broaden the battery application scope in modern life. The reduced weight and the increased charging current of this CNT [...]
Enhanced Capacitors
Monday, April 13th, 2009Currently, ultracapacitors can only hold a small fraction of the electrical charge that batteries can hold (about 5%), but they do have many very important advantages over their chemical cousins, such as no battery memory caused by partial discharging, no reduction in capacity with each charge (they last almost forever), and much faster charge-discharge times.

Hybrid Carbon Nanotube Metal Oxide Arrays to Improve Lithium Battery Technology
Sunday, April 12th, 2009This reent article from Rice University just backs up our claim that carbon nanotube technology is the future for battery technology:
Researchers at Rice University in Houston, Texas, have created hybrid carbon nanotube metal oxide arrays as electrode material that may improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. The research group combined highly electrically conducting carbon nanotubes [...]
New Carbon Nanotube Battery puts electric cars on equal footing with gasoline cars.
Sunday, April 12th, 2009Up until now the battery has been the weak link in the electric car. But with our new Carbon Nanotube Battery technology this will advance the electric car to the forfront. With a driving range of 350-380 miles and recharge time of 10 minutes this puts us on an equal footing with gasoline powered cars.
Right [...]
Paper battery could be future power
Saturday, April 11th, 2009Flexible paper batteries could meet the energy demands of the next generation of gadgets, says a team of researchers.
They have produced a sample slightly larger than a postage stamp that can store enough energy to illuminate a small light bulb.
But the ambition is to produce reams of paper that could one day power a car.
Professor [...]
Nanotubes promise better battery electrodes
Saturday, April 11th, 2009Grow carbon nanotubes inside manganese dioxide nanotubes and you’ve got high-capacity, potentially inexpensive electrodes for lithium-ion batteries.
The electrodes are made by forming manganese dioxide nanotubes in a template, then growing carbon nanotubes inside the manganese dioxide nanotubes. Manganese dioxide is an abundant material, but researchers have had difficulty making efficient electrodes from it. The carbon [...]
Carbon Nanotubes Could Lengthen Battery Life
Friday, April 10th, 2009Carbon nanotubes tiny tubular structures composed of a single layer of carbon atoms could lengthen the life of batteries, according to new research. Findings published in the current issue of Physical Review Letters suggest that the diminutive tubes can hold twice as much energy as graphite, the form of carbon currently used as an electrode [...]
Nano Tube Battery Technology
Friday, April 10th, 2009MIT Carbon Nanotube Research
Thursday, April 9th, 2009This is an interesting article that was publish in 2006 about MIT’s development of carbon nanotube technology and they mention that the “The markets that we serve are price-enabled. If our product stored a hundred times more energy, but cost a hundred times more, there might not be any market for it.” Well we have [...]
The newest profitable investment today
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009In an economic downturn people are looking for new and exciting investment opportunities “the next big thing” well the Carbon Nano Tube Battery is just that thing. For the past 200 years batteries haven’t progressed far beyond the basic design developed by Alessandro Volta in the 19th century, until now.
First to Market in this case [...]
