TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Battery: In the battery, the sheets are made from single wall carbon nanotubes or multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The semiconductor particles are silicon or germanium particles. Also, the semiconductor particles are welded on the carbon nanotubes. The positive electrode is made from a sheet of carbon nanotubes infiltrated with a lithium mixed metal oxide comprising lithium, and nickel, zinc, cobalt or mixtures. The battery further comprises a casing made from carbon nanotube composite material, where the composite material includes polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether ether ketone, polypropylene, bispolyamide, bismaleimide, epoxies and combination. The separator is a porous polyethylene membrane, or polyethylene membrane, or a combination. The sheets of carbon nanotubes has density of 80 g/m2. The battery is a prismatic battery. The sheet of carbon nanotubes comprises substantially aligned carbon nanotubes; and lithium as an intercalation compound. The separator is soaked in electrolyte solution. Preferred Method: In forming the anode for use in the battery, the step of generating is in presence of lithium. The method further involves mixing the lithium with a volatile carrier and allowing the volatile carrier to evaporate so as to from a carbon nanotube composite sheet. In the step dispersing the semiconductor particles, the particles are silicon or germanium particles. Alternatively, forming the anode for use in the battery involves: providing substantially planar body defined by a matrix of carbon nanotubes; dispersing semiconductor particles within the matrix semiconductor particles using an ultrasonic pulse train. In a second alternative case, forming the anode for use in the battery involves: providing substantially planar body defined by a matrix of carbon nanotubes; spraying lithium mixed metal oxide onto the matrix. Forming the cathode for use in the battery further involves mixing the lithium mixed metal oxide with a volatile carrier and allowing the volatile carrier to evaporate so as to from a carbon nanotube composite sheet. In the step of introducing, the lithium mixed metal oxide comprises lithium and nickel, cobalt or mixtures. In manufacturing the battery, in the step of incorporating, the semiconductor particles are welded onto the carbon nanotubes, and where the semiconductor particles are silicon or germanium particles. In the step of infiltrating, the lithium mixed metal oxide comprises lithium, and nickel, cobalt or mixtures. In the step of sealing, the casing includes carbon nanotube composite material, and the composite material comprises polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether ether ketone, polypropylene, bispolyamide, bismaleimide, epoxies and combination. In the step of positioning, the separator is a porous polyethylene membrane, or polyethylene membrane, or a combination.
