Despite the miniaturisation and energy requirements of modern electronics, battery technology has lagged behind. Modern lithium ion batteries suffer from slow charging times and a relatively short effective lifetime.
Graphene can be incorporated into battery technology to greatly enhance its efficiency. Graphene enhanced batteries would be much lighter and could replace existing heavy lithium ion batteries especially in industries such as aerospace where weight is important - reducing this lowers fuel consumption. Graphene enhanced batteries could also lead to personal portable energy storage.

Still feel like the question in the title hasn't been answered though...

@SercanPy 8 лет назад

I think my expectations for a 56 second video were too high. I feel cheated by the title

@firexgodx980 7 лет назад

this is a nice intro to answer the question of how, now please make a follow up and actually answer the question.

@garrytalaroc 6 лет назад

Very nice introduction, but it would be cool to have an explanation on physics too.

@Dmwntkp99 6 лет назад

Yes, we need this now!

i think a better analysis of those electrodes is required before you turn around and say 'this is not graphene". It could be graphite/graphene in a paint applied to the leaves.

By replacing the conductive parts was the answer? So does that still need lithium? Can you make a graphene thread and coil it around aluminum? So many question I really wish I had the things to modify the substance myself.

how about how long the charge lasts in use

@ohiyo1 6 лет назад

do you still need lithium in graphene batteries can you please amwser

Just curious.. What does the mechanical flexibillity offer in this case? Stability?

@SercanPy 8 лет назад

shape versatility - May allow batteries to go beyond existing configurations. Cannot think of a situation where that would be required.

@RBRap22 8 лет назад

flexible batteries

@TomOtero1984 4 года назад

Yes... but how do they work. My search continues.

@randysmith4347 6 лет назад

I have seen a lot of different videos on this Tech. To know that this is real! Just what this to come pretty sone, it will change how the charging will see the ice cars go sooner!

@abdul9588 8 лет назад

why isnt this in phones then?

@gunnntha 8 лет назад

+ABDUL because economically inefficient and expensive. that's why

@CrimsonHarpLovegoddess_1 8 лет назад

what you doing? stop scratching the surface and turn planes into electric graphene powered masterpiece. these videos suck they don't explain "what's inside"

@Crimson Harp it is really hard to make graphene, yet to make it into an ultracapacitor battery. it would be better if we invest in hemp batteries as it gives a better result than graphene battery, we should use graphene for electrical components as it can deal with heat extremely well
