A Brisbane company could change the face of Australia's energy landscape forever with an eco-friendly, carbon neutral cell that charges 70 times faster than a lithium ion battery and can be reused thousands of times.

Graphene technology developed by the University of Queensland has been described as world-leading.abc.net.au/news/brisbane-battery-uq-graphene-battery-solar-energy-power-grid/101611614A Brisbane company believes it can change the face of Australia's energy landscape with an eco-friendly, carbon-neutral cellKey points:

He said the business was the only one in the world making its own graphene — a nanomaterial made up of one layer of carbon atoms that is thin, strong and an excellent conductor of electricity — and had been working on the technology for six years. "Our battery we think is going to be a huge help, as we'll be able to charge our battery many times a day, whereas lithium battery can really only do it once."use of solar energy has been putting pressure on Australia's old energy grid infrastructureEnergy Corporation of NSW board member Dr Alex Wonhas said there was a pressing need for more investment in technology such as batteries that could store energy generated by solar cells.

"It's not like a lithium battery, which typically takes 500 cycles, and then it has to be replaced," he said."These are really world-leading as the last time anyone did anything on aluminium batteries was Stanford and ours is four times better than Stanford's."Mr Nicol said lithium batteries found in mobile phones, toys and even cars often had faults and there had been safety issues asociated with them.

"We are trying to provide a different option for customers to choose as an alternative and as specialty technology for the Australian battery industry, because our batteries are imported from overseas companies."

Batteries not included.

SuzieHolt4Groom If the Fed govt can find 577 mill for war in Ukraine, can we find 1 billion to make a 21st cent industry.

The most over used words in Australian tech: “Game changer.” Nothing ever happens.

I will believe it when I see it commercially used in houses & cars. Over the past 5 years, we have had numerous promises of game-changer batteries (LiFe-Po4; Solid State; etc) none of which able to match power density/gross weight of Tesla's 4680 batteries 1KWH/6.2kg gross weight

We keep hearing this yet we're not seeing it...
