Foreign scientists develop "aluminum-graphene-oxygen" synthetic batteries

Brisbane-based energy technology company LWP Technologies Limited has announced that it will invest in groundbreaking aluminum-graphene synthesis and battery manufacturing technology, and the disruptive battery technology invented by Russian-Australian scientist and inventor Victor Volkov has completed international laboratory testing, and this "aluminum-graphene-oxygen" synthetic battery is superior
to lithium batteries.
Graphene products will be the first to usher in the dawn of industrialization in the field of batteries, and domestic graphene-related companies will usher in industrialization opportunities

LWP pioneered investment in graphene batteries

According to reports, Brisbane-based energy technology company LWP Technologies Limited has announced that it will invest in pioneering aluminum-graphene synthesis and battery manufacturing technology, and acquire three "quasi-patents", ready to promote the marketing, patent licensing and commercialization
of new technologies.

In its June 14 announcement, LWP described the technology as "far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries.
"
LWP said that after extensive due diligence, it decided to invest $1.
6 million in consideration for the acquisition of aluminium-graphene synthesis and battery manufacturing technology, which is pending patent approval, and issue 30 million of its own shares
to the inventors of the technology.
The new technology is placed in a 50:50 joint venture entity under the brand name "GraphenEra
".

The new technology will first be used in battery manufacturing, and the cash invested will be used to develop battery prototypes in preparation
for licensing patented technologies for battery manufacturers.
According to the announcement, electric vehicle manufacturers and battery suppliers are investing hundreds of millions in lithium battery research and development, hoping to obtain higher energy storage performance and reduce charging time, but lithium electronics technology progress is very limited
.
Moreover, despite the broad prospect of lithium battery demand, it is a consensus
that lithium batteries perform unstable and have flammable and explosive risks.
In contrast, graphene technology is more energy-dense than lithium batteries and has a wider
range of applications.

According to the announcement, the disruptive battery technology invented by Russian-Australian scientist and inventor Victor Volkov has completed international laboratory tests, and this synthetic battery called "aluminum-graphene-oxygen" is superior to lithium batteries
.
According to the announcement, Victor Volkov is a nanotechnology and software analyst specializing in metal-based conductor synthetics, engaged in nanotechnology research for 12 years, and holds 7 personal patents
.
LWP emphasized that the chemical synthesis process invented by Victor Volkov can produce graphene
of the highest quality on a commercial scale.

Graphene batteries have a wide space

Graphene is a new nanomaterial composed of carbon atom arrangement monolayer honeycomb lattice structure, graphene has excellent electronic conductivity, thermal conductivity and high specific surface area, in new energy, chemical industry, electronic information, biomedicine and other fields has great application prospects
.

Graphene products are the first to usher in the dawn of industrialization in the battery field
.
Ping An Securities pointed out that the use of graphene conductive agents can solve the problems of
low energy density and low electronic conductivity at the same time.
As an ultra-thin carbon material with excellent electrical conductivity, graphene microsheets can form conductive contact with lithium-ion battery electrode active material particles, effectively form a three-dimensional conductive network, significantly improve the conductivity of electrodes, and have great market potential
in replacing traditional acetylene black conductive agents.
According to the domestic power battery cathode material shipments of 171.
72 million tons in 2014, with an annual compound growth rate of 40%, the domestic graphene conductive paste market space in 2018 is close to 5 billion yuan
.

Graphene is used to make flexible materials, is an ideal material to replace ITO as a new transparent conductive film, and has a wide range of application prospects
in the liquid crystal display and wearable device markets and heat dissipation materials.
IHS expects the wearable device market to reach $30 billion by 2018 (optimistic estimates are close to $50 billion); Wearable device shipments will reach 210 million units
.
The application of flexible materials represented by graphene will significantly improve the human adaptability of wearable devices and provide users with a better experience
.
Graphene flexible screens have made breakthroughs in technology, and their application in the field of flexible electronic materials needs to be coordinated by industry
