Samsung Advanced Technology Institute (SAIT) said that the graphene ball material can increase the battery capacity by 45%, charging speed can be accelerated 5 times.
Samsung said that if the existing lithium battery takes 1 hour to fully full, then using this new technology, it can be shortened to 12 minutes.
The company added that lithium batteries using graphene balls can also maintain the temperature at 60 degrees Celsius, which meets the requirements of electric vehicles.
SAIT's paper, published this month in Nature, has found a graphene material that can synthesize 3D-like popcorn using silica and then use these graphene balls as the positive and negative electrodes for lithium batteries .
Samsung has applied for the technology patent in South Korea and the United States.
Lithium batteries were first commercialized in 1991 and later became the standard for electronic equipment, but many believe the technology has reached its limit and look for alternative sources.
Last year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phone suffered a bombing door because of a lithium battery failure.
Graphene is extremely conductive and durable, and scientists are looking for multiple applications of the material, and a South Korean research team also used the material to make an OLED screen in April.
SAIT opened an artificial intelligence lab in Canada this year and has also developed cadmium-free quantum dot material for use on the current flagship QLED television.
