Using HydroGraph's patented fractal graphene, battery scientists have overcome performance challenges, allowing for a better performing battery at a lower cost compared to the incumbent.
VANCOUVER — According to a study published in the Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage, HydroGraph Clean Power’s graphene surpassed the performance of the leading cathode carbon materials in a lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) battery test.
“This achievement marks a significant turning point in Li-O2 battery technology,” said Ranjith Divigalpitiya, Chief Science Officer for HydroGraph. “Our graphene material showcases improved performance, surpassing the industry’s leading catalyst and providing battery manufacturers and investors with renewed hope and confidence.”
Lithium-oxygen batteries have emerged as a promising energy storage solution, but global adoption has been hampered in achieving efficient electrocatalysis, which impacts a battery’s performance. Using HydroGraph’s patented fractal graphene, battery scientists have overcome performance challenges, allowing for a better performing battery at a lower cost compared to the incumbent.
“We are incredibly proud of the breakthrough our team has achieved,” said Dr. Xianglin Li, the corresponding author of the publication and Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Washington University in St. Louis. This work was done while Dr. Li was an Associate Professor at the University of Kansas.
“HydroGraph’s graphene showcases unparalleled capabilities in electrocatalysis, unlocking new possibilities for Li-O2 batteries and accelerating the transition to cleaner energy solutions,” said Dr. Li.
