Graphene Manufacturing Group says its aluminum-ion battery now reaches 49 Wh/kg in testing, up from 26 Wh/kg in December, a gain the company says moves the cell closer to commercial validation.
Canada has awarded Nano One Materials $4.3 million to scale up its lithium-iron-phosphate production process, a commercialization push for a battery material widely used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
Meta has agreed to reserve up to 1 GW and 100 GWh of Noon Energy’s ultra-long-duration energy storage, beginning with a 25 MW/2.5 GWh project scheduled for completion by 2028. The deal gives one of the clearest signals yet that data-center developers are looking beyond conventional batteries for multi-day firm power.
Graphene Manufacturing Group says its graphene-aluminium-ion pouch cells have doubled energy density to 49 Wh/kg while holding to a 6-minute charging claim, a step the company says brings customer testing in 2026 and small commercial production in 2027 into view.
Solidion Technology said it has filed U.S. patent applications for a graphene-hosted silicon anode design, adding a fresh commercialization marker to the still-early race to move graphene-enabled battery materials beyond the lab. The Dallas-based battery company disclosed the filings in its April 15, 2026 full-year results and said the approach is intended to improve energy density while reducing production risk and cost.
Researchers in Japan have reported an all-solid-state magnesium-air rechargeable battery built around a nitrogen-doped nanoporous graphene cathode, a metal-free design aimed at improving cost, safety and flexibility while avoiding platinum.
