Graphene Batteries Perfect for Electric Vehicles

Li-ion battery technology is magnificent, but truly hampered by its limited power density and its inability to quickly accept or discharge large amounts of energy. Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute made a sheet of paper from the world’s thinnest material, graphene, and then zapped the paper with a laser or camera flash to blemish … Continue reading Graphene Batteries Perfect for Electric Vehicles
