How Do Electrolytes Enhance Energy Storage Devices?
In energy storage systems such as supercapacitors and batteries, electrolytes serve as a medium for ion transport. Nanotechnology enables the development of novel electrolytes with high ionic conductivity and stability, which can significantly improve the performance of these devices. For instance, electrolytes with nanostructured materials enhance the electrode-electrolyte interface, leading to higher charge/discharge rates and longer cycle life.
