NREL bolsters batteries with nanotubes NREL Scientist Chunmei Ban assembles a lithium-ion battery in the materials lab at the Solar Energy Research Facility at NREL. Credit: Dennis Schroeder, NREL Researchers at the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are turning to extremely tiny tubes and rods to boost power and durability in lithium-ion batteries, the energy sources for cell phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. If successful, the batteries will l ast longer and perform better, leading to a cost advantage for electric vehicles. In a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium-ion battery, at maximum potential difference, the battery is fully charged and ready to provide power to "NREL bolsters batte ries with nanotubes."
