Nanostructured electrodes and active materials could shrink batteries for electric vehicles. Researchers in France have created lithium-ion battery electrodes with several times the energy capacity, by weight and volume, of conventional electrodes. The new electrodes could help shrink the size of cell-phone and laptop batteries, or else increase the length of time a device could run on a charge. What's more, the nanotech methods used to make these electrodes could provide a simple and inexpensive way to structure new materials for next-generation batteries for plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles.

Excellent information. Let's hope this gets to the marketplace in a reasonable amount of time. We certainly could find a use for this one.
