Nanomaterials can enhance battery performance in multiple ways:
Increased Surface Area: Nanomaterials have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, providing more active sites for electrochemical reactions. Enhanced Conductivity: Materials like graphene and carbon nanotubes improve electrical conductivity, reducing internal resistance and increasing power output. Structural Stability: Nanomaterials can accommodate the expansion and contraction that occurs during charging and discharging, enhancing the battery's structural integrity and longevity. Faster Ion Transport: Nanostructured materials can facilitate quicker transport of ions, leading to faster charging and discharging rates.
