Graphene is a highly flexible material, consisting of a monoatomic layer of carbon atoms (having a thickness equivalent to the size of a single atom). It is stronger than steel and has the flexibility of plastic.
Their ability to store very fast static energy on their surface. As a result, the larger the battery is, the more electrons it contains and the longer the battery will last. A doubt comes when we talk about energy density, will more energy lead to more risks? In an optimistic way the answer is “no” because the target set for graphene batteries are: greater autonomy, shorter charging times, lower risk of flammability.
Nowadays, technological evolution has made possible to have lithium batteries mounted on many products, of which we have spoken in recent texts. These batteries provide, of course, a transmission of energy that causes the production of heat. In this sense, the novelty of graphene batteries, said very trivially, is to be able to maintain lower temperatures than those that today maintain lithium batteries.
The advantages of this technology compared to traditional batteries are:
The only drawback for now traceable are high production costs, but it is a highly innovative field in continuous evolution.
