They are talking about impregnating graphene with atoms of Aluminium and getting it in production by the end of the year. Yet I was under impression that we do not yet have a viable method for producing graphene on an industrial scale, did I miss something? Do we have such production capabilities or do the batteries in question require so little of it that the existing tech is enough?
- virtue3 5y agoMaking particles of it is easy, making sheets is where it is still hard, so that's probably the bit that you're missing. https://www.americanscientist.org/article/mass-producing-graphene https://www.americanscientist.org/article/mass-producing-gra...
- maga 5y agoI assumed they would need sheets of it for batteries, but if it works for them with just particles all the better.
- ajuc 5y agoWe can produce graphene at scale but it's not big uniform layers but small randomly oriented pieces. Big uniform layers are prohibitively expansive (and you have to provide your substrate to them)
- Jiocus 5y agoThe term is impregmating in this context and process :)
- maga 5y agoOh my, I never knew there was a different word for it, thank you!
