CHARGED ARRAYS OF MICRO AND NANOSCALE ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS AND BATTERIES FOR COMPUTER AND NANODEVICE MEMORY AND POWER SUPPLY  

Patent No’s. 7,704,615 & 7,785,737 

Expiration Date – 2/26/2028 

• This invention involves charged arrays of micro and nanoscale electrochemical cells and batteries for computer and nanodevice memory. Nanoscale or electrochemical cells or batteries are arranged in well-ordered arrays. Charged cells serve as “on” or “1” while cells that are not charged could serve as “off” or “0,” in effect serving as memory devices.

NANOSCALE THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) BATTERY ARCHITECTURE 

Patent No. 8,574,744   

Expiration Date – 4/23/2030

• The invention is a 3D compact, highly efficient nanobattery comprised of nanobaskets, nanowires, and an electrolyte layer. 

• The battery’s nanobaskets, formed on a nanoporous substrate, serve as electrodes, with nanowires providing direct electrical connections for each basket. A thin electrolyte layer is placed between the nanobasket electrodes to facilitate ion exchange and complete the energy storage system.
