Graphene is made up of carbon atoms in a two-dimensional fashion arranged in a latticed design. It has recently come to the belief that graphene has a vital role in diverse industrial sectors, given its remarkable electrical and physical characteristics. These remarkable properties of graphene include high mobility of charge in its internal makeup, high conductivity, and comparatively very low resistance. All these properties are vital for a battery to yield high performance, for example, preventing overheating and potential fires. Also, the level of conductivity that graphene offers improvises the electrochemical characteristics of the batteries’ electrodes. This outcome is increased energy density level and capability to store a revolutionary amount of energy for industrial purposes.
Novel graphene battery technology
The novel graphene battery technology serves a widespread range of applications in industries. The number of applications of graphene batteries has increased with an increase in the everyday usage of electronic devices like phones and laptops, which require a more durable and dependable battery. Graphene batteries have, therefore, revolutionised the electronics industry due to a drastic increment in its use of electronic devices, mostly the portables ones. These novel solutions for the storage of energy facilitated by graphene batteries can be seen to be put into use for vehicles that operate on electricity.
Revolution of the electronics industry
This is a revolution for this industry because the most eminent challenge the electronics industry faces is the rate at which batteries of these vehicles get charged. Additionally, graphene batteries are also a critical step towards developing environment-friendly solutions towards ecosystem or environment-related issues faced by the society in the present time, making these batteries a top choice for industries that support the concept of sustainable development and also conduct all industrial processes with respect to achieving a greener and more sustainable revolution for industries. This is indicative of the increasing demand and trend of graphene batteries in the electronics industry, especially the industry for portable electronics that serve to increase the lifespan of smartphones by many folds while also permitting faster charging than other conventional batteries like lithium-ion batteries. This revolution of the smartphone industry was previously being halted due to the limitations of such batteries.
Institutionalising graphene batteries to diverse industries
Industries like space and defence, biomedicine, automobiles and numerous other industries have increasingly started to rely on graphene batteries in order to operate in the most efficient way possible. The development and application of graphene batteries on a more commercialised scale is important from an industrial point of view because conventionally used batteries like the lithium-ion batteries have energy-related limitations. This can be revolutionised with the institution of graphene batteries.
Conclusion
C6 energy has been consistently working towards increasing the manufacture and implementation of graphene batteries that have the potential to push advancements of technology in areas that have never been thought of before, curating high efficiency. Most importantly, the minimalistic environmental impacts of these batteries make it a promising contribution towards sustainability and viability in the industrial sector.
