A new company WPG developed a mobile power bank using graphene. The power bank comes with a capacity of 5000 mAH that can achieve the full charge in mere 10 minutes. There is also another version of the power bank available in 1000 mAH. Although there was enormous potential associated with graphene the applicability of graphene has been lagging.
Both the 5000 mAh and 1000 mAh versions support 12V / 5A fast charge. The power bank also supports other ratings such as 5V / 3A, 9V / 2A, 12V / 1.5A, and has a maximum power output of 18W. Despite delivering such high power the power banks will not be subjected to overheating, thanks to the presence of Graphene. The WPG Graphene mobile power bank will be available in sterling silver, matte black, gold and rose gold colors.
What is Graphene?
Graphene is a two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms that is stronger than steel, flexible and highly conductive. It is an excellent conductor of thermal and electrical energy, chemically inert and lightweight.
Graphene made batteries are light, durable, and suitable for high storage capacity and will also charge within very short times compared to the conventional batteries. It also extends the battery lifetime without the requirement the of amount of carbon used in conventional batteries. The batteries lifetime is the inverse proportion to the amount of carbon added to the electrodes in batteries to achieve conductivity i.e, in other words, lower the carbon more will be the lifetime the of the battery.
The company WPG being a small start-up does not have funds to produce power banks on a commercial scale. The company has opted for crowdfunding on Jingdong. The product was listed as WPG Graphene lightning mobile power bank and aims to rise 10,000 Yuan. The company seems to be right on track as it has accumulated 216, 810 yuan in no time and the funds kept pouring in. The product will be available on the site for crowdfunding for 11 more days and it is accepted to accumulate huge money by the end of crowdfunding.
