New graphene super batteries charge up in seconds and last virtually forever

Swinburne University researcher Han Lin developed a new supercapacitor using sheets of graphene created on a 3D printer, and it charges faster and lasts longer than traditional batteries. With the aid of one of the strongest materials on Earth, a researcher at Australia’s Swinburne University has created a battery that charges up super fast and can be used over and over and over again, without losing efficiency. Researcher Han Lin developed the battery using a form of carbon called graphene, which is commonly heralded as one of the strongest materials on the planet.
