  1. Graphene vs. Lithium-Ion Batteries

  2. Graphene Single-layer graphene oxide products with superior optical and chemical properties. In addition to its use as a precursor to graphene, graphene oxide can be used in a variety of applications from surfactants, photonics, and optoelectronic devices to water filtration and protective coatings.

  3. Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion batteries have transformed the way society uses energy. They can hold a lot of charge in a small volume, allowing cell phones, laptop computers, and even electric cars to exist. So, they are closely related to our daily lives but they have obvious safety issues. A battery, if shorted, could become a fireball bomb nearly impossible to extinguish using conventional techniques. Now, Nanotech Energy has developed a game-changing non-flammable battery limiting the potential of a flame or explosion and providing a safer battery solution.

  4. Graphene vs. Lithium-Ion Batteries

  5. Batteries have become an essential, and often forgotten, tool we need to conduct our everyday lives. Compact and reliable, batteries power everything from home smoke detectors to smartphones to electric vehicles.  They produce energy in a compact and reliable way and we’ve all come to appreciate as convenient and safe. Yet, standard lithium-ion batteries are really not so safe. Inside lithium-ion batters is a thin and porous slip of polypropylene that keeps the electrodes from touching. If that separator is breached, the electrodes come in contact and get ‘explosively’ hot very quickly.  In graphene batteries, one of the electrodes is replaced with a hybrid composite material which includes graphene. If the electrodes come in contact there is no explosion. 

  6. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms and is one of the strongest materials ever known, yet is completely flexible. A single sheet of graphene sufficient in size to cover an entire American football field would weigh just a fraction of a gram. This vast surface area associated with this small amount of graphene can be squeezed inside an AA battery, enabling the design of new energy-storage devices with the ability to store massive amounts of charge. With excellent mechanical properties, graphene can also withstand the volume changes of the battery electrodes during charge and discharge, reducing the chances of an internal short circuit leading to a safer and more powerful battery. Graphene is also an excellent conductor of electricity, leading to batteries with lower internal resistance while providing an effective solution to overheating during battery charging.
