Abstract
This chapter gives brief introductions to the basic concepts of lithium-ion battery technology, the subject of nanotechnology, and goes further to give insight on the relationship between the two. It also attempts to demonstrate how nanotechnology can improve lithium-ion battery technology. It is emphasized that despite the short life span of lithium-ion battery technology (~20 years) and nanotechnology (~30 years) and the limited knowledge of behavior at the nanoscale, great advances have been made in understanding the relationship between performance and the use of nanofabricated lithium-ion materials and batteries.
