Smartphone batteries with graphene – supposedly charged in 12 minutes, more capacity and more durability

According to rumors, Samsung is about to revolutionize the technology of battery for mobile devices.

Although Samsung only registered last year, a corresponding patent, the development of new battery technology would be completed: the Korean manufacturer has Samsung Mobile News (this is not an official website of Samsung) has completed the development of graphene batteries, which should be fully charged in 12 minutes.

As Notebookcheck notes, the new batteries continue to depend on lithium, but with graphene on the anode and the cathode, among others, it results in a significantly higher energy density (about 28% greater than that of conventional lithium batteries) and therefore potentially more important. same dimensions). At the same time, graphene batteries are less prone to gases and therefore safer than previous batteries. For Samsung after the disaster of Galaxy Note 7, the decisive factor was decisive.

Desirable, but not very tangible

Another advantage of the newly developed battery is its extended battery life, so batteries installed more and more in permanent installations should work better during the life of the smartphone than today. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the new batteries are thinner with the same capacity.

However, SamsungMobileNews is currently talking about the full development of Samsung's patented technology, which has not yet been officially confirmed. Such rumors must always be treated with caution. Such a breakthrough in battery technology has been announced more often in recent years, but none of the rumors have yet delivered. According to notebookcheck.com, graphene remains an expensive material with a complex manufacturing process.
