Graphene has been the next big thing for a decade. I want to see the actual production volume and the cost per kg before calling this a win for storage economics.
Fair point. The update is light on specific output targets. It is mostly a general status report.
If they can actually scale expandable graphite for industrial insulation or battery anodes, it helps. But the gap between lab success and industrial scale is where most of these firms fail.
Interesting to see if this fits into any domestic supply chain tax credits. The incentive structure for critical minerals will determine if this is viable without constant subsidies.
