Graphene Aluminum batteries are going to win this race IMO
- s0rce 3y agoAgainst conventional Li ion?
- alberth 3y agoWhen? For 20-years now we’ve heard graphene, would revolutionize the world. Not just batteries, but throughout tech. But unless I mistaken, there’s not a single graphene product on the market yet. Maybe it’ll be like AI. Where no major advancements happened for 50-years, and then ChatGPT was made.

- folago 3y agoThese guys seems to be quite ahead in the process https://graphenemg.com/graphene-products/graphene-aluminium-ion-battery/ https://graphenemg.com/graphene-products/graphene-aluminium-...
- snakeyjake 3y agohttps://shopcaterpillar.com/products/18v-5ah-1-for-all-graphene-battery https://shopcaterpillar.com/products/18v-5ah-1-for-all-graph... You can buy graphene batteries right now. They are more expensive than non-graphene batteries so unless you have a need for the extra performance you tend to overlook them when shopping for batteries.
- brightball 3y agoYea, the trick has always been cheap availability of Graphene itself.
- zilti 3y agoJust because you didn't hear of it doesn't mean nothing happened for 50 years.
- Syonyk 3y agoJust as soon as they get out of the lab... (graphene being well regarded for being able to do anything but leave the lab for actual real world use)
- wilg 3y agoI mean if it's a race they've lost.
