Since the introduction of electric and hybrid vehicles topics such as energy storage and bat- teries become increasingly important and in- teresting. That shows in the growing number of scientific publications and company foundations in this segment. Over the last years, several com- panies have developed nanotechnology applica- tions, which can improve the material structure of batteries.


Without fundamental technological advances for batteries electric cars will remain a niche product without any progress regarding commercializa- tion.


It is therefore even more pleasant to see latest news from companies such as Aleees. Recently, the Taiwanese manufacturer Advanced Lithi- um Electrochemistry Co., Ltd. (Aleees), discussed its innovative double-layer nano-carbon coating technology at the 220th Electrochemical Society (ECS) meeting held in Boston (U.S.). Aleees has created an innovative double-layer nano-carbon coating technology which allows olivine material to be coated with different carbon compounds with thicknesses less than 5nm so as to improve the structural integrity of the material and enhan- ce the life cycle of batteries by 2.7 times!


Besides developments from big blue chip compa- nies such as IBM, Matsushita, Panasonic, Sanyo,
