Nanotechnology for energy materials: Electrodes like leaf veins
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 10, 2016
An international team headed by HZB scientist Prof. Michael Giersig has recently demonstrated for these applications that networks of metallic mesh possessing fractal-like nano-features surpass other metallic networks in utility. These findings have now been published in the most recent edition of the renowned journal Nature Communications. Their new development is based on what is termed quasi-fractal nano-features. These structures have similarities to the hierarchical networks of veins in leave ... read more
