Will graphene technology replace lithium batteries? -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
Graphene batteries are unlikely to replace lithium-ion batteries in the foreseeable future. On the one hand, the technology is not yet mature. On the other hand, the cost will not come down. In addition, there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of security, stability and many other aspects. Moreover, even if graphene batteries are actually made and applied on a large scale, it may not be able to be applied to electric vehicles to replace the currently popular lithium-ion batteries. Special has many advantages, it does not mean that special can easily replace other types of power stations. Similarly, graphene batteries are not necessarily suitable for use in electric vehicles. Only in suitable application scenarios, specific technologies can exert their greatest advantages.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
1. It takes a process for graphene batteries to go from the laboratory to the market, and this process has not yet begun
It takes a process to transform scientific research results into market products, and not every technology is suitable for large-scale commercial use. At present, there is no consensus on what the so-called graphene battery is.
Applying a little graphene as an electrode material is a graphene battery? At present, the batteries on the market that dare to play the signboard of graphene batteries, except for liars, are basically lithium-ion batteries/lead-acid batteries doped/used with graphene. The imaginary all-graphene battery does exist at present, but it only exists in the laboratory, and it is far from the industrialization standard.
The potential application scenarios of graphene are not just to replace traditional batteries. In fact, graphene may be more promising in new types of flexible batteries, devices, displays, catalysts, and more. Considering the relatively good overall performance of lithium-ion batteries, good performance, mature industry, and relatively low prices, graphene is unlikely to replace lithium-ion batteries in the foreseeable future.
The actual value of a technology not only depends on performance, but also depends on many aspects such as cost performance and stability. If graphene wants to surpass lithium-ion batteries one day and become the most suitable battery option for automobiles, graphene must show incomparable advantages of lithium-ion batteries in the laboratory, and then it will be vigorously promoted by major manufacturers. At present, graphene batteries are still very immature and have not shown significant advantages relative to lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, graphene batteries do not even have the possibility of replacing lithium-ion batteries. From the laboratory to the market is a process, and for graphene batteries, this process has not yet begun. Because, have not found a reason to go to the market.
2. Graphene technology may be used to enhance lithium-ion batteries, not replace
While graphene battery technology is a newer and potentially more powerful technology, lithium-ion batteries themselves are the culmination of years of battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries themselves have many advantages to become the most mainstream car batteries at present. Graphene technology does provide a possibility for breakthroughs in battery technology, but it does not mean that graphene can completely replace lithium-ion batteries.
In the future, if graphene-related research is mature and there is a breakthrough in technology, the research results can be applied to lithium-ion batteries to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. This possibility is also much higher than that of graphene completely replacing lithium-ion batteries. Any material has its own characteristics. The surface characteristics of graphene are greatly affected by the chemical state. There are many problems in stability, cycle life, etc. Graphene batteries are inferior to lithium-ion batteries.
