Lomiko Metals (TSXV:LMR) has entered an agreement to invest in Graphene Energy Storage Devices. Graphene ESD will commercialize technology for graphene supercapacitors developed in a previous project involving Graphene Laboratories Inc. and Stony Brook University.
As quoted in the press release:
Supercapacitors bridge the gap between conventional capacitors and rechargeable batteries. They store the most energy per unit volume or mass (energy density) among capacitors. Supercapacitors power density is generally 10 to 100 times greater than normal capacitors or batteries. This results in much shorter charge/discharge cycles than batteries. Additionally, they will tolerate many more charge and discharge cycles than batteries. Incorporation of graphene material in supercapacitor electrodes may further improve energy and power density of the device. Graphene ESD Corp. will develop low-cost graphene-based supercapacitor devices that will be capable of even higher discharge currents. The development will focus on large-scale devices that are projected to have the lowest cost of power and stored energy in its class.
Lomiko CEO, A. Paul Gill, said:
As reported December 4, 2013, the Phase I Graphene Supercapacitor project yielded encouraging results. Graphene ESD Corp. will build on the success of this project and will be developing a graphene-based supercapacitor. The device is designed as a versatile energy storage solution for electronics, electric vehicles and electric grid.
