One of the new battery technologies is graphene aluminum-ion battery which is designed specifically with rapid charging in mind. Graphene aluminum-ion batteries avoid the use of lithium and copper, instead using aluminum substrates and a newly developed chloride-free electrolyte. This enables cost and weight reduction, improved safety risks, and eliminates the need for thermal management system. The battery has similar performance characteristics as lithium titanate oxide cells, but can be produced at a much lower cost
The technology works by making atomic sized holes in the graphene, which allows the aluminum ions to penetrate and be held in the graphene to make a higher energy density, thus enabling them to outperform standard lithium batteries.
Australia-based Graphene Manufacturing Group has reported a significant increase in the energy density of its graphene aluminum-ion battery technology, as it moves closer to commercialization of ultra-fast charging cells
