OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Sept. 24, 2010 — As industries and consumers increasingly seek improved battery power sources, cutting-edge microscopy performed at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is providing an unprecedented perspective on how lithium-ion batteries function. A new electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM) technique developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory can map lithium-ion flow through a battery’s cathode material. This 1 μm × 1 μm composite image demonstrates how regions on a cathode surface display varying electrochemical behaviors when probed with ESM. A...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
