The Russian born Australian scientist behind the technology, Victor Volkov, has completed internal laboratory testing of the Al-Graphene-Oxygen battery, which has demonstrated the capacity to deliver significant benefits over lithium-ion technology, which you can see in the table below.

Volkov, who describes the technologies as his “life’s work”, said he was thrilled to be working with LWP to commercialise them.

“I look forward to creating the revolutionary prototype batteries together with LWP who have a proven track record in developing energy-related technologies from laboratory to commercial scale,” he said.
Lithium-ion batteries, currently the dominant energy storage technology, have an estimated current market of more than $US30 billion a year, which is forecast to grow in lock-step with the electric vehicle market.

Why Most Investors Invest In People, Not Ideas

As a founder of a business, you also need to target investors that have some knowledge and experience in your market of choice to benefit from their knowledge and networks. Finally in as much as investors invest in people not ideas, your idea need not be ordinary, it has to stand out to get the attention of the investor before you get to impress him or her about why you deserve the funds.

IMO

I have no doubted Volkov will succeed.
