When?

For 20-years now we’ve heard graphene, would revolutionize the world.

Not just batteries, but throughout tech.

But unless I mistaken, there’s not a single graphene product on the market yet.

Maybe it’ll be like AI. Where no major advancements happened for 50-years, and then ChatGPT was made.

30 years if you're counting all the variants:

These guys seems to be quite ahead in the process https://graphenemg.com/graphene-products/graphene-aluminium-...

You can buy graphene batteries right now.

They are more expensive than non-graphene batteries so unless you have a need for the extra performance you tend to overlook them when shopping for batteries.

Yea, the trick has always been cheap availability of Graphene itself.

Just because you didn't hear of it doesn't mean nothing happened for 50 years.

Just as soon as they get out of the lab...

(graphene being well regarded for being able to do anything but leave the lab for actual real world use)

Against conventional Li ion?

I mean if it's a race they've lost.
