Adding a bit of graphene to battery materials could dramatically
cut the time it takes to recharge electronics. Today, a typical
cell phone battery takes between two and five hours to fully
recharge. Researchers think using new battery materials with
graphene could cut recharge time to less than 10 minutes.
Vorbeck Materials Corp., in collaboration with the Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle for
the Department of Energy, announces a cooperative research and
development agreement (CRADA) to develop Li-ion battery
electrodes using Vorbeck’s unique graphene material, Vor-xTM.
These new battery materials could enable electronic devices and
power tools that recharge in minutes rather than hours or
function as part of a hybrid battery system to extend the range
of electric vehicles. If you liked this article, please give it
