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