Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the building-block of graphite (think pencil tips). Graphene is the thinnest material at one atom thick, and is about 200 times stronger than steel. Additionally, graphene is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and has interesting light absorption abilities. It has the potential for integration in almost any industry, and in the field of batteries, conventional battery electrode materials (and prospective ones) are significantly improved when enhanced with graphene. Graphene can make batteries that are light, durable and suitable for high capacity energy storage, as well as shorten charging times. Several companies (including Samsung and Nokia) are already developing graphene-enhanced batteries, with the first products entering the market.
Graphene-Info , a graphene publication and market insight company, offers its graphene market report that provides a comprehensive guide to graphene technologies for the battery market. This market report is a guide to graphene technologies for the batteries market. Graphene has the potential to enable high energy density batteries that are lighter and faster than current batteries on the marketing – leading to long range electric cars and long lasting mobile devices. The report provides information on the advantages of using graphene in batteries, the different ways it can be used in batteries, the various types of graphene materials, and what’s coming. It offers a list of the graphene companies involved with batteries, detailed specifications of some graphene-enhanced anode materials, and contact details for graphene developers.
