| Abstract | Development of safe, economically competitive, and environmentally responsible nano-enabled products is desirable to avoid unintended consequences. Given the environmental health and safety uncertainties associated with nanomaterials, additional precautions for exposure prevention may be required, although not regulated. Companies working with engineered nanomaterials may want to understand decision tradeoffs for the costs associated with increased levels of occupational safety and potential environmental impacts. Recent advances in nanotechnology have resulted in the development of advanced lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) oxide batteries enhanced with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). These batteries have a much greater energy density and product life than traditional lithium-ion batteries. A stochastic process-based cost model (PBCM) is developed to investigate the cost drivers for manufacture of MWCNT NMC batteries targeted for satellite and computer applications. Various levels of occupational safety protection (low, medium and high assumed) are analyzed to determine their effect on total manufacturing cost. The results show that MWCNT cost has the highest impact on total unit cost for production of satellite batteries, whereas cycle time has the highest impact on the unit cost of computer batteries. The mixing step contributes the most to the total unit cost for both satellite and computer MWCNT NMC lithium-ion batteries due to the inclusion of MWCNT costs in the mixing step. The process-based cost model developed in this work not only offers estimation of the economic drivers associated with the MWCNT NMC battery manufacturing, but also allows consideration of strategies to reduce costs. Results contribute to safer manufacturing practices for CNT lithium-ion batteries for low and high production volume applications (satellites and portable computers, respectively). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
