Competition is getting ahead of us?Can anyone care to comment on this news release of info from SJL. I bought both in anticipation of Tesla wishing to be supplied by a graphite company but it looks like the OTHER company just got a leg up on us....
Excerpt of news release moments ago:
Saint Jean Carbon Inc. has released the results of the graphene battery project, phase 1 of three, previously announced on Jan. 19, 2017. Although very preliminary at this point, the graphene battery has outperformed the graphite battery, as demonstrated by a greater discharge capacity of approximately 30%. Both batteries were made with the same material, battery "A" graphite anode and "B" graphene anode.
The performance results are as follows; the theoretical capacity of the graphite anode: 372 mAh/g the theoretical capacity of the graphene anode: 700 mAh/g. Over 100 cycles the discharge capacity for the graphite was 200 to 220 mAh/g and for the graphene 310 to 330 mAh/g. The testing procedures: charge to 3V at 500 mA/g and discharge to 0.05V at 100 mA/g. Neither the graphite nor graphene were optimized so the variations in the results need to be further tested.
