ABSTRACT
 The appeal of batteries in modern civilization is trending with the passage of time. In
a race of achieving larger shelf life, higher power density, and short charging time,
nanobatteries equipped with nanotechnology could be a significant aspect to consider.
Nanobattery defined not only to be present in nanoform but also to produce all its essential
elements in the size of nano. Two major classifications of batteries, including primary and
secondary batteries, had already been proven to be worthy by exploiting nanoengineering
of their active materials. Anode and cathode regarded as key components of batteries can
be beneficial to improve the overall performance of batteries if they are to be employed in
nanoform instead of bulk, which reduces their surface area. Furthermore, to take up full use
of nanotechnology, the rest of the components of batteries such as electrolyte and
separators needs to make their mark by composing them into nanoform, which provides
assistance in improving the overall performance of batteries.
