Title:
NANOFIBER ELECTRODES FOR ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/149305
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and devices for enhanced energy storage in an electrochemical cell are provided. In some embodiments, an electrode for use in a metal-air electrochemical cell can include a plurality of nanofiber (NF) structures having high porosity, tunable mass, and tunable thickness. The NF structures are particularly suited for energy storage and can provide the electrode with exceptionally high gravimetric capacity and energy density when used in an electrochemical cell.
