Supercapacitors made with this technology have achieved volumetric energy densities up to 99.5 Wh/L and power densities of 69.2 kW/L, demonstrating exceptional energy and power capabilities.

These supercapacitors exhibit long-term stability and scalability, with performance among the best reported for carbon-based devices.

The process is scalable and compatible with Australian raw materials, paving the way for potential commercial production.

The research findings are published in Nature Communications, highlighting the technology's significance and potential impact.

M-rGO is produced through a rapid thermal annealing process that creates a highly curved graphene structure with precise ion pathways, enabling fast charging and high energy density.

The development ensures excellent cycle stability and fast-charging performance, making it suitable for applications such as electrified transport, grid stabilization, and consumer electronics.

Researchers at Monash University have developed a new carbon-based material called multiscale reduced graphene oxide (M-rGO), which greatly improves the energy storage and power delivery of supercapacitors.

Experts believe these rapid-charging supercapacitors could replace batteries in various sectors due to their ability to charge quickly and deliver high power.

Ionic Industries, a Monash spinout founded in 2014, is actively working to commercialize this graphene technology and is already producing quantities for market applications.

Dr. Phillip Aitchison, CTO of Ionic Industries, stated that partnerships are underway to bring this high-performance energy storage technology to market.
