Nanofibers for energy storage

Nanofibers for energy storage

1. Who?

   • Case Western Reserve University researchers

2. One-step fabrication process for producing flexible nanofibers

3. Methodology

   • Using anodic oxidation of aluminum (AAO) instead of metal cathalysis for growing fibers
     • AAO: Is a ceramic used in nanotechnology

4. Properties

   • Flexible, they could be woven in textiles as power source for wearable electronics
   • The porous nature of the nanofibers offer a huge area for charge storage
     • Also, allows a faster charging rate
