An electrolyte placed on this surface stays separate enabling indefinite storage until the surface tension is reduced via electrowetting, causing it to cover the nanoposts to generate power. The battery was created by etching microscopic array of 350nanometerwide and 7micronhigh posts on the surface of silicon wafer, then coating them with an oxide layer and layer of hydrophobic polymer.

For example, nanoparticles are used regularly in products to give them special properties, such as in cloth to give it stainrepellent properties, or in fuel cells to increase the surface area of the reactive surface.

The technology is compatible with semiconductor processes, enabling power to be built into applicationspecific integrated circuits ASICs, processors, and systemonchipsSoCs as well as other chipscale

For example, nanoparticles are used regularly in products to give them special properties, such as in cloth to give it stainrepellent properties, or in fuel cells to increase the surface area of the reactive surface. In contrast to current reserve batteries that use mechanical activation, power cells based on this nanoscale technology have no moving parts and are inexpensive to produce in quantity. The technology is compatible with semiconductor processes, enabling power to be built into applicationspecific integrated circuits ASICs, processors, and systemonchipsSoCs as well as other chipscale packages.
