Nanomaterials can improve cycle life in several ways:
Increased Surface Area: Nanomaterials have a high surface area to volume ratio, which allows for more active sites for chemical reactions, leading to more efficient battery operation. Structural Stability: Materials at the nanoscale can exhibit enhanced mechanical properties, making them more resilient to the stresses of repeated charging and discharging. Conductivity Improvements: Nanomaterials can offer superior electrical conductivity, which reduces energy loss and improves the overall efficiency and lifespan of the battery.
