Graphene battery breakthrough could trigger electric car revolution

Graphene battery breakthrough could trigger electric car revolution | Daily Mail Online: "Scientists have discovered a surprising new property of graphene – the world’s thinnest and strongest material – that could accelerate the development of electric cars and other green technologies.



Researchers have found that the newly discovered type of carbon graphite, which is found in pencil lead, allows positively charged hydrogen atoms or protons to pass through it. Their discovery could increase the efficiency of fuel cells for cars, because the cells generate electricity from hydrogen."
