Innovative Process Utilizes Graphene and Hard Carbon-Coated Sand to Enhance Energy Storage and Building Materials
DAVOS, GRAUBüNDEN, SWITZERLAND, August 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Salgenx, a pioneering leader in saltwater flow battery technology, is thrilled to announce the development of a revolutionary new process for creating graphene and hard carbon-coated sand. This innovative approach utilizes sustainable materials, such as sugar and sawdust, in a heat-treating process to produce advanced materials that promise to significantly enhance both energy storage and construction industries.
Harnessing the Power of Sustainable Materials
Salgenx’s groundbreaking process involves the thermal decomposition of carbon-rich materials like sugar and sawdust to create high-performance graphene and hard carbon. These materials are then used to coat sand particles, resulting in a unique composite that offers exceptional electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. The process aligns with Salgenx’s commitment to sustainability by leveraging renewable resources to produce advanced carbon materials.
Transforming Energy Storage
The graphene and hard carbon-coated sand developed by Salgenx is poised to play a critical role in the next generation of energy storage solutions. When integrated into battery systems, such as the company’s own saltwater flow batteries, these materials can enhance the efficiency and capacity of energy storage. Additionally, Salgenx is exploring the potential of using these coated sands in the development of concrete battery cells, where the sand acts as both a conductive filler and a structural component.
Innovating Construction Materials
Beyond energy storage, the carbon-coated sand offers exciting possibilities for the construction industry. By incorporating this material into concrete as an aggregate, Salgenx aims to create high-performance concrete that is stronger, more durable, and conductive. This innovative use of graphene and hard carbon-coated sand could lead to smarter, more resilient buildings and infrastructure.
Tailoring Solutions for Specialized Applications
In addition to its standard applications, Salgenx is exploring the addition of materials such as vermiculite with high surface area to create custom recipes for specific carbon materials. These specialized composites could be particularly valuable in enhancing the performance of saltwater flow batteries, offering tailored solutions for a range of energy storage needs.
