Battery Breakthrough: New Technology Speeds Up Charging | Nanomaterial & Nanoscoops, Mobile Phones & Laptop Batteries

Charging a cell phone or laptop could take minutes instead of hours, thanks to a new nanomaterial

The material is made up of what the researchers call nanoscoops — "cones" of carbon and aluminum with "scoops" of silicon on top. These nanoscoops would replace the graphite anode used in today's lithium-ion batteries, which are the most common type of batteries found in consumer electronics.
