Samsung works on graphene batteries that charge faster

The battery is one of the most troublesome aspects of phones. Therefore, it is important that new innovations come to the market. Samsung is one of the leading companies in the sector, also in research and development. The Korean multinational is currently busy developing graphene batteries. Solid state batteries that promise to be a revolution.

Samsung works on graphene batteries that charge faster

The Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) has successfully synthesized graphene balls that can be used to create lithium-ion batteries that last longer and also charge faster. So it is certainly something the market is waiting for. The transition from lithium to solid materials continues with a steady pace.

Graphene batteries

To be more specific, the use of graphene in this method increases the capacity of the batteries by 45%. In addition to getting the upload speed increased by five times. All this while maintaining the same size of current batteries. So we would find a 4, 500 mAh battery. Plus, it could charge in as little as 12 minutes.

This material also achieves greater stability and resistance of the batteries. So they could maintain temperatures of up to 60 degrees. In addition, in the tests carried out so far, it is possible to maintain a capacity of 78.6% after 500 complete charge and discharge cycles. Therefore, it seems that this development is on the right track.

Not surprisingly, Samsung has already patented this technology. As the industry is currently in a hurry to find a substitute for lithium. It seems that the Korean multinational has a good candidate on its hands. But we will have to wait to see how the development of these Samsung projects evolves with graphene.
