Wahi a nā moʻolelo o nā haole, i mea e ʻike maikaʻi ai i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka electrification, i ka lā 10 o Iune i ka manawa kūloko, ʻo NanoGraf, kahi hui ʻoihana pākaukau kiʻekiʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i hoʻopuka i ka ikehu kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion pākahiko, i hana ʻia. mai ka ʻenekini pākahiko maʻamau Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka pākaukau i hoʻopau ʻia, hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ka manawa holo e 28%.

Me ke kākoʻo o ka US Department of Defense a me nā keʻena ʻē aʻe, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui ʻepekema o NanoGraf, nā ʻenehana a me nā mea ʻenekinia i kahi pānaʻi anode silicon me ka nui o ka ikehu o 800 Wh/L, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i nā mea uila uila, nā kaʻa uila, a me na koa i ke kaua. Hāʻawi nā lako a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i nā pōmaikaʻi nui.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dr. Kurt (Chip) Breitenkamp, ​​​​Peresidena o NanoGraf: “He holomua kēia i ka ʻoihana pākaukau. I kēia manawa, ua kūpaʻa ka nui o ka ikehu pākaukau, a ua hoʻonui wale ʻia ma kahi o 8% i nā makahiki he 10 i hala. Ua loaʻa ka ulu ʻana o 10% i loko o Kina. He waiwai hou kēia e hiki ke ʻike ʻia e kahi ʻenehana i hoʻokō ʻia ma mua o 10 mau makahiki. "

I nā kaʻa uila, ʻo ka hopohopo mileage ke kumu nui o kā lākou hāpai ʻana i ka nui, a ʻo kekahi o nā manawa nui loa ʻo ia ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā pihi me ka nui o ka ikehu kiʻekiʻe. Hiki i ka ʻenehana pākahiko hou o NanoGraf ke hoʻoikaika koke i nā kaʻa uila. No ka laʻana, i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā kaʻa like o kēia manawa, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pākaukau NanoGraf hiki ke hoʻonui i ke ola pākaukau o Tesla Model S ma kahi o 28%.

Ma waho aʻe o nā noi pāʻoihana, hiki i nā pihi NanoGraf ke hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi i ka hana o nā mea uila uila i lawe ʻia e nā koa. Lawe nā pūʻali koa US ma luna o 20 paona o nā pākahi lithium-ion i ka wā e mākaʻikaʻi ana, ʻo ka lua wale nō i ka pale kino. Hiki i ka pākaukau NanoGraf ke hoʻolōʻihi i ka manawa hana o nā mea hana o nā koa ʻAmelika a hoʻemi i ke kaumaha o ka pahu pākaukau ma mua o 15%.

Ma mua o kēia, uaʻike ka hui i kahi manawa o ka ulu wikiwiki. I ka makahiki i hala, ua hāʻawi ka US Department of Defense iā NanoGraf US $ 1.65 miliona ma ke kālā no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā pākahi lithium-ion lōʻihi e hoʻohana i nā lako kaua US. I ka makahiki 2019, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Ford, General Motors a me FCA i ka American Automotive Research Council a hāʻawi i ka hui me $ 7.5 miliona no ka noiʻi ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā pā uila kaʻa.
