SAINT JEAN CARBON COMPLETES GRAPHENE FULL CELL LITHIUM ION BATTERY
Saint Jean Carbon Inc. has completed a full cell graphene battery, as previously announced in a press release dated April 20, 2017. The company is working on creating high performance graphene batteries through a series of research projects. The first step was to test the graphene against graphite as an anode material in a coin cell (half cell). The tests show that the graphene outperformed the graphite by about 30 per cent as demonstrated over 100 cycles the discharge capacity for the graphite was 200 to 220 milliampere-hours per gram and for the graphene 310 to 330 milliampere-hours per gram. The next step was to create a full pouch cell that would function in a real-world application, as an example -- a clock with a nightlight.
The battery takes about 4 to 5 minutes to fully charge and can keep functioning for about 25 minutes. With an operating window of 3.0-0 4.2 volts and capacity of 140mAh/g. The Company is very encouraged by the results and as such will complete the final series of tests. The Company will now design and construct a high performance graphene full cell. The graphene will be produced and modified to try and reach the theoretical performance threshold. The goal is to achieve double the performance of a graphite anode. The preparation of the cells and test were all managed by Graffana Inc of Waterloo Ontario. The raw material was source from a third party.
Paul Ogilvie, CEO, commented: "We are very pleased to continue to push for opportunities for graphene in practical applications; as simple as a clock and light, next possibly a drill with the end goal of producing an electric car battery with a graphene anode. With the continued research it all helps move the goal a little closer to reality."
The Company would also like to announce the completion of the drill program announced in press release dated January 12, 2017. The drill core has been sent to the lab for assaying. We look forward to publishing the results in the coming weeks.
