Volt Carbon just named Dr. Hey Woong Park as CTO. He has a background with LG Chem and is focusing on graphene and solid state batteries. Worth a look if you follow carbon science and energy storage.

The technical milestones look okay on paper, but I want to see the actual scale. Moving from a lab setting to industrial capacity for graphene is a huge leap. Do they have a timeline for a pilot plant?

That 40 to 60 percent improvement in epoxy mechanical properties sounds good, but I wonder about the cost per unit. If the graphene additive makes the material too expensive for standard industrial use, the tech stays in the lab.

Interesting to see the focus on natural graphite resources in Canada. The supply chain for battery materials is a major policy priority right now, so the location of their mining claims in Ontario and Quebec is the real story here.
