Graphene-A Carbon Material to Store Renewable Energy

Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 posted by posted by Mak @ 9:56 PM

Engineers and scientists from the University of Texas in Austin have recently discovered the use of graphene, a relatively new, one-atom thick carbon based material, as a means to store electrical charge in an ultracapacitor. This new breakthrough could ultimately double the capacity of existing ultracapacitors, which are manufactured using an entirely different form of carbon. Better ultracapacitors could lead to improved cellular electronics, power conditioning, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), industrial lasers, medical equipment and hybrid vehicles.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
