REPLACING LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES WITH GRAPHENE BATTERIES

Abstract

This paper first deals with how the lithium-ion batteries work and then goes on to explain their shortcomings and disadvantages while also discussing the factors making lithium-ion batteries unsuitable for the future. Then it states the properties and advantages of one of the most viable replacement options for lithium-ion batteries – GRAPHENE; discussing the advantages of graphene batteries over lithium-ion batteries and then states why graphene batteries are still not used today. It then talks about 3-D printing that is potentially the most suitable way to mass produce graphene thus making commercial production of graphene batteries economical and effective so that they can then be used in various industries and fields of science possibly leading to various revolutions.
