Researchers developed a PFAS- and NMP-free cellulose nanofibril binder that improves dispersion, adhesion, ion transport, and structural integrity in high-loading lithium-ion battery positive electrodes. The binder enabled NCM811 electrodes with high mass loading, strong areal capacity, and improved cycling stability, suggesting a more sustainable route to high-energy battery manufacturing.
Researchers developed a “talkative battery” that transmits internal and external temperature data through existing power connections using load shift keying. While validated with NTC-based sensing, the method could also support future nano-enabled sensors printed or embedded inside large-format lithium-ion cells.
This paper proposes a convergent curriculum framework that integrates nanotechnology, MEMS, magnetic materials, and generative and agentic AI to strengthen U.S. advanced-manufacturing workforce development. It argues that future competitiveness depends on stackable credentials, shared lab infrastructure, industry-academia partnerships, and training that links fabrication, metrology, automation, data interpretation, and ethical oversight.
This roadmap examines how nanomaterials, electrocatalysts, membranes, and device engineering can advance renewable energy electrochemistry. It focuses on green hydrogen from water electrolysis, electrofuels from CO2 reduction, and sustainable ammonia from nitrogen reduction, while highlighting the barriers to industrial deployment.
Graphene–ITO hybrid electrodes improved nanoscale current response by about 60%, supporting more continuous conductive pathways for transparent electrode applications. The study positions graphene-enhanced ITO as a promising materials-level strategy for next-generation III-V multijunction space solar cells, while noting that device-level testing is still needed.
