 ABSTRACT

Batteries are an integral part of any electronic gadgets and in the modern era, we are surrounded by
numerous gadgets However advancement in technologies leads to high power consumption resulting
in limitation in battery technology. Commonly used in lithium-ion batteries are toxic and have issues
of sustainability, including resource depletion and the introduction of environmental and human health
hazards. Moreover, lithium-ion batteries overheat, have a short life span, flammable and underperform
extreme temperatures. The solution to these problems is Graphene batteries. Graphene initially known
as graphite commonly “stuff pencils are made out of '' Graphene is basically a 2D sheet of carbon
atoms bonded together in a honeycomb lattice pattern exactly one atom thick. Graphene is highly
conducive, incredibly lighter than steel but x200 stronger at the same time, with its large surface area
to mass ratio graphene batteries holds great potential for applications in the energy industry. Batteries,
with a higher charge capacity, faster rate of charge, and greater temperature tolerance, coupled with an
accompanying method of production could revolutionize not only personal electronics but also electric
vehicles.
Keywords: Graphene, Batteries, Energy Storage, and Graphene Batteries.
