About xGnP® Graphene Nanoplatelets
Graphene Nanoplatelets represent a new class of carbon nanoparticles with multifunctional properties

Energy Storage and Capacitance

xGnP® brand graphene nanoplatelets can have a very high surface area and excellent capacitance. Depending on the specific formulation, our materials compare favorably with industry standard electrode additives for lithium-ion batteries and metal-air batteries, as well as ultracapacitors. We also see excellent applicability in dye-sensitized solar cells.

In Ultracapacitor applications, our materials deliver high capacitance even at higher scan rates and compare favorably to carbon nanotubes as well as to industry standards like highly-structured carbon black. Here is a comparison, for example, of capacitance vs. scan rates.
