# New Battery Composed Of Lots Of Nanobatteries

- Each nanotube was comprised of a current collector formed by an outer nanotube of Ru and an inner nanotube of V2O5 as the energy storage material
- Each end of the nanopore was coated with either V2O5 or a chemically modified form of V2O5, to serve as the electrodes
- An enhanced discharge lifetime and cycle lifetime could make this particular construct an option for future portable devices including phones, tablets, and more.
