University of Illinois at Chicago materials engineer Eduard Karpov received National Science Foundation funding to develop and test a tiny battery made of nanomaterials designed to operate much like a solar cell, but powered by the catalytic oxidation of hydrogen instead of sunlight. The technology may prove useful in developing batteries for future nano-devices.
