Improving Lithium-ion Batteries through Atomic Layer Deposition
ALD Nanosolutions (ALD = 鈥淎tomic Layer Deposition鈥) spun out of the labs of Chemical Engineering professors Al Weimer and Steve George. A major focus for the company鈥檚 lead technology鈥攁 proprietary process for creating sub-nanometer coatings on battery electrodes鈥攊s improving the performance, efficiency and durability of rechargeable lithium ion batteries, which are commonly used in home electronics.
Cooling Buildings with Zero Energy Consumption
A thin-film metamaterial developed by Ronggui Yang and Xiaobo Yin has the potential to revolutionize cooling systems in commercial, industrial and residential buildings with near-zero ongoing energy usage.
