- Detailed Technology Description
- This invention proposes a new process for enhancing the energy storage capabilities of an important Li+ insertion metal oxide: MnO2. This process enables MnO2 to function at a higher rate, and for thicker coatings, enhancing the energy and power of batteries and capacitors. This technology, along with a related technology (please see Related Case 2016-760) allows for nanowire-based batteries and capacitors with extremely long cycle lifetimes (over 200,000 recharging cycles) without loss of capacitance.
