Graphine is also made from expandable graphite

Hi Semi, First of all, its called Graphene - ene not ine.

can you please advise me of one company that is manufacturing Graphene from expandable graphite, I have read a few research paper that suggests that this can be achieved, I am not sure why you would want to use expandable graphite, the smaller the graphene platelets are, the fewer properties of graphene remain.

Faster Charging, all major EV are now using a liquid coolant to either heat the batteries or to cool them. there is a company called FlexeGraph (Australia) who have developed a nanotechnology coolant that is 60% more conductive than standard coolants, it is my understanding that this coolant would allow faster charging with existing battery technology.

Then we have other technology, Supercapacitors. they have almost instant charging and discharging although they have limited energy density, by running SC with Lithium-Ion batteries, it increases the battery life by 30% = increased range.

Do you really think the battery market is going to change that quickly when many of the battery manufacturers are investing Billions into building factories that use today's technology?

I hope you know that silicon batteries were invented in early 1970's, there are obviously issues with its commercialisation when the Lithium-ion battery was invested 15 years later in 1985.

Spid . All this uncertainty on the future of graphite based anode material Ecograph will be reliant upon, will that get you financed or does that mean massive equity raise and high risk dilution ? that is the big question , this is a major SYR type problem also who will be your your fully financed competitor, look what's happened to them, let's wait for the KNL Ecograph DFS and see?
