RE:Competition is getting ahead of us?Surely we are still in the game for electric car supply? Perhaps, we can hope for the best to become the third party alluded to below?
More from SJL news release:
"The project started as material comparison, the same material but applied in to different states, graphene and graphite. It will be really interesting to see if we can scale up to a size of battery that would be meaningful, such as batteries found in electric cars. Possibly with continued research we may have a higher performing anode that performance will directly relate to greater power and greater storage."
The challenges are now to see if the performance will hold up when scaled up. Both the graphite and graphene must now be enhanced to create the best possible material for the anode. From there; scale up the size of the half cells and eventually to a full cell. If the graphene continues to outperform we believe we will have the necessary data to apply the graphene into real life testing on a number of different applications; electric cars, long term storage, small devices, etc. Phase two is the construction of a pouch cell with function lights for demonstration purposes; the Company is expecting the results sometime in the next 8 weeks.
The preperation of the cells and test were all managed by Graffana Inc of Waterloo Ontario. The raw material was sourced from a third party.
