Superfast battery can fully charge in seconds

HANGZHOU - Researchers at Zhejiang University have developed a new type of aluminum-graphene battery that can be charged in seconds instead of hours.

The team, led by professor Gao Chao, from the university's Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, designed the battery using graphene films as anode and metallic aluminum as cathode.

The battery could work well after a quarter-million cycles and can fully charge in seconds.
