You’ve likely heard of some common battery types, such as lithium ion, that are helping to power the future.
However, there’s a new contender for most-promising battery solution – graphene.
石墨烯电池 leverage their namesake material, which sees carbon atoms bind together in a honeycomb lattice pattern to form an extremely strong, yet thin sheet. Graphene has a long list of beneficial properties – it conducts electrical and thermal energy extremely well, is lightweight and flexible, and is chemically inert.
That, in combination with the fact that it’s sustainable, make batteries leveraging the material an attractive option. So attractive, in fact, that graphene startup 纳米技术能源 今年早些时候完成了一轮融资，金额为$2750万美元。
So, what benefits might graphene batteries’ widespread use bring?
Graphene Improves a Battery’s Surface Area
Because the material is so flexible and features such a large surface area, its use in complementing and supporting li-ion batteries’ anodes and cathodes brings an improvement to the overall surface area of the battery.
这种改进是可能的，因为石墨烯基本上可以涂在任何衬底上，导致更好的功率和能量密度，以及其他好处。
石墨烯在不提高温度的情况下提高了导电性能
同样，石墨烯的有益特性导致了电池本身也表现出这种特性。
由于石墨烯是如此出色的导体（不需要传统解决方案中的大量碳，也不需要在传导能量时增加材料的温度），它导致了更优化的能量传输和性能。
石墨烯带来了更持久、更快速的充电电池
最后，引入石墨烯可以使电池持续更多的充电周期，并能更快地充电，从而产生高效、持久的电池，这可能为技术创新的世界带来新的可能性。
Picture electric vehicles that could charge quickly and drive longer, a common goal of the EV industry – graphene could help make that vision a reality.
