Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An energy storage device includes a nanostructured network and an electrolyte in contact with the nanostructured network. The nanostructured network is an electrically conducting nanostructured network that provides combined functions of an electrode and a charge collector of the energy storage device. An electrical device includes an energy storage device that includes a nanostructured network and an electrolyte in contact with the nanostructured network, and a load-bearing electrical circuit electrically connected to the electrical energy storage device. The energy storage device is suitable to power the electrical device while in operation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A device for use as an electrode or charge collector in an energy storage device, the device, comprising: (a) an electrical contact; (b) a first nanostructured network of a nanoscale electrically conducting material connected to the electrical contact; and (c) a second nanostructured network of an electrochemically active material in contact with the first nanostructured network; (d) wherein said first nanostructured network comprises: a layer of a first electr…
