Georgia Tech team develops simple, low-cost process for oxide nanowires; superior separators for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials under ambient conditions without the use of catalysts or any external stimuli. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation and California-based Sila Nanotechnologies. —Lei et al.
