This procedure is performed at the device level (i.e., for carbon nanotubes deposited onto sensor substrates) for many devices in one batch, which illustrates the scalability for the mass production of affordable nanosensors.

Whilst these findings are certainly interesting, their scalability, and hence commercial application, is prohibited by the standard of precision that must be met in order to produce such materials. Circumventing these problems using nitrogen doped

• applications. Besides efficiency and energy density, numerous other requirements have to be fulfilled, which include industrial scalability and the capability for mass-production. In the last few decades, lithium–sulfur batteries have attracted increasing attention due to their high theoretical energy density

• limited by the total piezo scan range (up to hundreds of microns in common SFM systems) and the short dimension is limited by the contact area of the tip and, therefore, dependent on the tip radius. At present, lines as thin as about 50–100 nm can be performed, demonstrating the scalability of the

This capability is a necessity for the investigation of large systems as the many packages that implement efficient density functional theory (DFT) are still in development and change on a regular basis. Scalability of the vibrational approach

• also easily integrable, as they are based on delta functions. The limiting part of the calculation is the diagonalisation of an Ng × Ng matrix, where Ng is the number of grid points (which must be even in this approach). We use mathematical libraries (Lapack) to ensure the scalability of the approach
