Breaking Through Performance Barriers
Graphene batteries represent a quantum leap in energy storage technology, leveraging the remarkable properties of this two-dimensional carbon material to overcome longstanding limitations of conventional batteries. Unlike traditional lithium-ion systems, graphene-enhanced batteries utilize single-atom-thick carbon layers that deliver:

• Unparalleled conductivity (200x better than silicon)
• Exceptional thermal management (10x copper’s thermal conductivity)
• Structural integrity (200x stronger than steel at equivalent weight)
