​Researchers develop scalable graphene technology for regulating heat transfer and enhancing battery safety 

Researchers at Swansea University, in collaboration with China’s Wuhan University of Technology and Shenzhen University, have developed a technique for producing large-scale graphene current collectors that could significantly enhance the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Their recent study details the first successful protocol for fabricating defect-free graphene foils on a commercial scale. These foils offer excellent thermal conductivity – nearly ten times higher than traditional copper and aluminium current collectors used in LIBs.
