Samsung develops (and patents) ‘graphene ball’ to speed up charging
November 27 (2017) - Samsung announced the "Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology" (SAIT), that they successfully synthesized a crrently-patented “graphene ball,” which can be used to make lithium-ion batteries last 45% longer and charge around five-times faster, according to the company. Lithium-ion batteries take an hour to charge, but that will be reduced to around 12 minutes with the graphene ball technology.
The SAIT has been behind a number of commercialized
technological breakthroughs, including the development of the
cadmium-free Quantum Dot materials that are being used in Samsung's Quantum-Dot LED TVs.
Lithium-ion batteries were first introduced back in 1991 and have since been the standard for powering consumer-grade electronic device. Many, however, believe that the technology has now expired and have started looking for alternatives.
The graphene ball approach is just one of the many different advanced power methods being explored at the moment.
