Scientists have built a prototype Al-ion battery (AIB) that uses a graphene electrode to intercalate tetrachloroaluminate. The researchers have used the device to investigate the effect of defects and doping on battery performance.
Researchers from Rice University have transformed wood into an electrical conductor by turning its surface into graphene. The team used its LIG technique to blacken a thin film pattern onto a block of pine.
Tata Steel’s first graphene-based product is in the market – the company has announced the launch of ready-made graphene-coated stirrups, named Tiscon Superlinks+.
