HydroGraph Clean Power, a manufacturer of high-purity graphene, and NEI Corporation, a leader in battery materials and testing services, announced the launch of NANOMYTE® FGA-1AD and NANOMYTE® FGA-1ND, a new line of advanced graphene dispersions.
These innovative dispersions, a result of the companies’ strategic collaboration, integrate seamlessly into existing electrode slurries, replacing or supplementing traditional conductive carbons to enhance electrode performance. The outcome is improved electrical conductivity, enabling the development of better electrodes and expanding possibilities for high-performance energy storage solutions.
The new graphene dispersions are meant to accelerate the development of renewable energy systems and electric vehicles. The advanced graphene dispersions have the potential to make batteries more efficient and reliable. By leveraging HydroGraph’s novel graphene technology and NEI’s expertise in battery materials, the companies are creating a strong foundation for future innovations and market expansion in the energy storage space.
“Our collaboration with NEI Corporation has already resulted in our next-generation graphene materials being made available in a format familiar to the battery industry,” said Kjirstin Breure, CEO and President of HydroGraph. “These new dispersions aren’t just enabling customers to test and enhance battery performance, but they are also setting the stage for broader graphene adoption across the energy storage sector. I’m proud to say that this is just the beginning of what our partnership can accomplish.”
The two new advanced dispersions combine HydroGraph’s pristine fractal graphene technology with NEI’s extensive experience in battery materials. The result is a ready-to-use concentrate of high-purity graphene additive exhibiting 100% sp2 bonded carbon, in a turbostratic arrangement, and an average of six graphene layers per particle. This nanoscale structure significantly enhances conductivity, improves rate capability, and increases energy density, delivering a major performance advantage across a range of battery applications.
These novel graphene dispersions present a range of potential applications for advanced energy storage systems, which will enhance NEI’s line of products. These possibilities include its use as a high-performance conductive additive in lithium-ion battery anodes, particularly those based on silicon or silicon oxide, and cathodes based on LFP, LMFP and NMCs. Supercapacitor electrodes could also benefit from the use of graphene dispersions.
