Why is #Graphene useful in energy storage devices?
Graphene has the potential to be an ideal material to use in energy storage due to its remarkable electrical and thermal conductivity, its high robustness and flexibility
The problem with batteries
Current lithium-ion battery technology is unsuitable for the growing energy demands of modern devices. They have a long charge time, short lifespan and use unstable and dangerous chemistries
Graphene can increase the efficiency of batteries, improve power capability and allow faster charge times
Graphene's high thermal conductivity can help remove the heat from devices, improving their safety by reducing the risk of thermal runaway
How can graphene be used in energy storage?
We are increasingly relying on renewable energy but the question is how do we store it? Graphene could help to store more of this energy for later use
Charging devices could be sewn into clothes or even tattooed onto our skin, enabling bespoke biomedical and IOT applications
Supercapacitors are able to give short, sharp bursts of energy. Developing graphene supercapacitors could help enable high performance electric supercars
