Foreign Scientists Developed "Aluminum-Graphene-Oxygen" Synthetic Battery

According to media reports, LWP Technologies Limited, a Brisbane-based energy technology company, announced that it will invest in groundbreaking aluminum-graphene synthesis and battery manufacturing technologies. The subversive battery technology invented by Russian-born Australian scientist and inventor Victor Volkov has been completed internationally. Laboratory tests, this "aluminum-graphene-oxygen" synthetic battery is superior to lithium battery performance. Graphene products will usher in the dawn of industrialization in the field of batteries, and domestic graphene-related companies will usher in industrial opportunities.

LWP takes the lead in investing in graphene batteries

According to media reports, LWP Technologies Limited, a Brisbane-based energy technology company, announced that it will invest in groundbreaking aluminum-graphene synthesis and battery manufacturing technologies, and acquire three “quasi-patented patents” in preparation for the promotion of new technology marketing and patent licensing. And commercialization.

LWP described the technology as "energy density far better than lithium-ion battery" in the announcement issued on June 14. According to the LWP, after a lot of due diligence, it was decided to acquire aluminum-graphene synthesis and battery manufacturing technologies pending patent approval. It will invest A$1.6 million as a consideration and issue 30 million shares of its own to technology inventors. The new technology is placed in the 50:50 joint venture entity and the technology brand is "Graphen Era".

The new technology will be applied first in the field of 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 R&D, hoping to achieve higher energy storage performance and reduce charging time, but the progress of lithium electronics technology is very limited. And, despite the broad prospects for lithium battery demand, the lithium battery performance is unstable and there is a consensus that there is a risk of flammability explosion. In contrast, graphene technology has a higher energy density than lithium batteries and has a wider range of applications.

According to the announcement, the subversive battery technology invented by Russian-born Australian scientist and inventor Victor Volkov has been tested in an international laboratory. The performance of the aluminum-graphene-oxygen synthesis battery is superior to that of a lithium battery. According to the announcement, Victor Volkov is a nanotechnology and software analyst who specializes in metal-based conductor composites and has been engaged in nanotechnology research for 12 years and holds 7 individual patents. The LWP emphasizes that the chemical synthesis process invented by Victor Volkov can produce a commercial scale and highest quality graphene.

Graphene battery space is vast

Graphene is a novel nanomaterial composed of a single-layered honeycomb structure composed of carbon atoms. Graphene has excellent electronic conductivity, thermal conductivity and high specific surface area in new energy, chemicals, and electronics. Information, biomedicine and other fields have great application prospects.

Graphene products have the greatest chance of ushering in the dawn of industrialization in the field of batteries. Ping An Securities pointed out that the use of graphene conductive agents can simultaneously solve the problem of low energy density and low electronic conductivity. The graphene microchip as an extremely conductive ultra-thin matter dimensional carbon material can form conductive contacts with lithium ion battery electrode active material particles, effectively form a three-dimensional conductive network, and significantly improve the electrode conductivity, in place of traditional acetylene black conductive The agent has a large market potential. According to the domestic sales of domestic battery cathode material of 171.72 million tons in 2014, the annual compound growth rate of 40% is estimated. In 2018, the domestic market space for graphene conductive agent paste is close to 5 billion yuan.

Graphene is used to make flexible materials, and it is an ideal material to replace ITO as a new type of transparent conductive film. It has broad application prospects in the liquid crystal display, wearable device market and heat dissipation materials. IHS expects that the wearable market space in 2018 is expected to reach 30 billion U.S. dollars (optimally estimated to be close to 50 billion U.S. dollars); shipments of wearable devices will reach 210 million units. The use of flexible materials represented by graphene will significantly improve the fit of the wearable device and provide a superior user experience. The graphene flexible screen has achieved a breakthrough in technology, and its application in the field of flexible electronic materials needs to be industrially coordinated.
