Graphene Manufacturing Group CEO: ‘5 years’ of labor pays off as battery cells hit 489 cycles

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) managing director and CEO Craig Nicol spoke with Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion in regards to the newest testing milestone for the corporate’s graphene aluminium-ion battery expertise, progress in the direction of buyer samples, and GMG’s plans to scale graphene manufacturing.

Nicol stated the corporate’s GCELLSs accomplished 489 cost cycles, with charging and discharging taking six minutes and no measurable lack of efficiency. “We labored 5 years for this tech to get right here,” he stated, describing the consequence as a big milestone, with GMG having developed its personal cathode and centered the expertise on very quick charging.

GMG is now optimising the cells forward of the subsequent part, with Nicol saying a decreased electrolyte ought to assist transfer the corporate in the direction of its goal of round 50 Wh/kg at a 10C cost fee, alongside testing totally different charging algorithms.
