The Era for new battery has emerged, replacement for Li-ion batteries with the graphene based batteries that will be five times more life lasting than the traditional Li-ion ones and less dangerous too.
About Graphene
• Graphene is type of carbon allotrope consists of planar sheets in two dimensional structure which are one layer thick and the atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure, honeycomb-shaped lattice.
It is single layer thin but can be manipulated by using hands, the working is also possible within a great range fields.
It is much thinner and transparent and optically stable material available.
It is good conductor of electricity and heat.
It is about two hundred times stronger than modern day steel and nearly transparent.
It is Impermeable to GASES and other solvents and solute.
Applications of Graphene*
It can be used as coatings and coating Paints, best possible lubricants, oils and functional fluids, capacitors and batteries in electronics , thermal management applications, display board materials and packaging, solar penals, inks in 3D-printers’ materials and photographic films etc.
Cost of graphene batteries.
Despite the higher upfront cost of lithium-ion batteries, the true cost of ownership is far less than lead acid when considering life span and performance.
Environmental Impact:
Lithium-ion batteries is a technology, a much cleaner and aslo safer for the sustainable environment for future races.
Common Utilization of Li-ion battery will be in
- medical devices like Pacemakers,
- modern digital cameras,
- latest cutting edge Smartphones,
- modern Solar Power Storage,
- battery backup systems to prevent power cut offs ,
- Rocket launcher etc.
So the graphene is providing the replacement for almost everything utilized in modern day electronics and digital world.
Interesting. I have heard of graphene but never read about it. Are there other applications of graphene aside batteries?
Yes, there are many more like mobile displays that can be lifted because of its high elasticity and strength.
