From article, (The Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) recently announced the successful synthesization of a unique battery material which could be the breakthrough in battery technology that many have been waiting for.
Made from graphene – a 2D-matter that has long been heralded as a wonder material because of its extraordinary properties that hold the potential to revolutionize different industries including electronics, transportation, medicine and energy storage – the new synthesised material, named by the Samsung Electronics’ research arm as “graphene ball”, could potentially deliver charging speeds 5x faster than standard lithium-ion batteries and, theoretically, achieve a hundred percent charge in only 12 minutes.
According to SAIT, batteries that use graphene ball could also enable battery capacities to grow by as much as 45 percent and maintain a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, a key requirement in electric cars. Samsung also said that they have patented the technology in South Korea and the US and that their research offered “promise for the next generation secondary battery market,” especially in relation to smartphones, smart gadgets and electric vehicles.)
