The rising importance of battery capacity

As grids worldwide continue to integrate more renewable energy sources, and EVs (electrical vehicles) replace fossil fuel based transportation, battery capacity is becoming increasingly more important.

Graphene has the potential to revolutionize the energy storage industry, improving the performance of batteries and supercapacitors in terms of capacity, charging speed, and heat transfer.

Thanks to its durability and resistance to corrosion, graphene is also a reliable and long-lasting material for battery applications.

Adode - Higher energy storage capacity and faster charging cycles
Battery pack - Improved heat dissipation using graphene composites as thermal interface material
Cathode - Higher conductivity in LFP cathodes
Supercapacitors - Enhanced energy storage capacity of supercapacitors thanks to graphene's high surface area and electrical conductivity
Current collector - Reduced internal resistance of the current collector with graphene coatings

Supporting SDG 7 and 13

Graphene's role in energy storage supports SDG 7 by facilitating more efficient use of renewable energy through improved batteries and supercapacitors, making clean energy more accessible and reliable. Simultaneously, it supports SDG 13 by enabling a smoother transition to a low-carbon economy, as better energy storage systems are key to maximizing the use of renewable resources and reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
