  • What are the applications of your graphene solution?

    Graphene is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

    • Backup Power for Critical Operations: Providing reliable energy during outages without the need for supplemental cooling or concerns about heat signatures.  
    • Cost-Effective Energy Management: Enabling peak shaving to reduce demand charges and facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources for microgrid solutions.  
    • Adaptable Energy Solutions: Suitable for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure needs, with customizable configurations to meet specific operational requirements.  
  • What are the advantages of graphene over traditional batteries?

    Enhanced Safety: Graphene is inherently safer due to their solid-state construction and lack of flammable components, eliminating the risk of thermal runaway.  

    Longer Lifespan: Graphene exhibits minimal degradation over time, with a lifespan exceeding 20 years, significantly longer than traditional batteries.  

    Higher Efficiency: Graphene boast a higher round-trip efficiency of 99.1% and offer a 100% depth of discharge, maximizing energy utilization.  

    Improved Environmental Friendliness: Graphene is 100% recyclable and 80% biodegradable, minimizing their environmental impact. 

  • What is our graphene solution?

    Graphene is a solid state, electrostatic, long duration energy storage solution that uses graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, as a key component in their electrodes. Graphene’s unique properties, such as high electrical conductivity, large surface area, and excellent mechanical strength, make it an ideal material for enhancing performance.  

Reduced Cost of Storage

In utility-scale and commercial applications where cycle count and duration fall within 2-4 hour ranges, LFP consistently delivers the lowest total cost of ownership. Typical containerized systems deliver 4.0-5.0 MWh per container at approximately 2.5 MW power capacity, optimizing the balance between energy capacity and power delivery that most grid applications require.


When your business model depends on arbitrage—buying power at off-peak rates and selling during peak demand—every dollar per kWh matters, and LFP’s cost structure sets the industry standard.

 

Bankers Trust

CFOs and project finance teams need risk predictability. LFP technology provides exactly that. With thousands of operational installations and decades of field data, financial institutions can model performance, degradation, and residual value with confidence. This translates to competitive financing rates, established insurance markets, and predictable warranty structures—all backed by manufacturers with strong balance sheets.

Graphene Vs. Lithium Ion

Lithium-ion batteries have dominated the energy storage market for decades, powering everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. However, they suffer from limitations such as thermal runaway risks, limited lifespan, and environmental concerns related to the mining and disposal of rare earth minerals. Graphene addresses these challenges, offering a safer, more sustainable, and longer-lasting alternative.

Comparing Graphene to Lead Acid and Lithium Ion​

Graphene is 100% recyclable and 80% biodegradable, minimizing their environmental impact. They do not rely on rare earth minerals, further reducing their ecological footprint.

Safety​

Graphene is inherently safer than lithium-ion batteries due to their solid-state construction and lack of flammable components. They eliminate the risk of thermal runaway, a dangerous phenomenon that can lead to fires and explosions in lithium-ion batteries.  

Lifespan

Graphene exhibit’s minimal degradation over time and can last for over 20 years, significantly longer than the typical 10-year lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. This longevity translates to reduced replacement costs and improved overall value.

Efficiency

Graphene boasts a higher round-trip efficiency of 99.1%, compared to 80-90% for lithium-ion batteries. They also offer a 100% depth of discharge, allowing for optimal utilization of stored energy.
