Grephene material developed at just 1% cost of market, super capacitor also developed for auto applications.

[Surya 1]

In a revolutionary breakthrough, Indian scientist developed grephene material at just 1% cost of its market value which is around 1000 USD per gram. Indian scientists made it at 10 USD per gram. This has a great application in automobile battery as it can hold high electrical density. They also made super hybrids capacitor with a very high holding capacity. These will change the face of automobile industry. Now electrical vehicles will be able to run thousands of Kilometres in a single charge.

I have read news of coal being turned into graphene and problem isn't developing graphene material its to make sure its structure is consistent throughout..

This Technology has a potential to revolutionize automobile sector and many more.

Good development but I think Indian scientists should do a radical rethink on electricity sources. They can perhaps look at the Carbon-14 radioactive battery that is being designed and developed at the American company NDB ( website ). According to the leaders of NDB the battery tech can be scaled to any application and replace current power sources and the lifetime can be from nine years to 90 years to 28,000 years, depending on the application.

But one thing in the vid in the OP here. Why the cringe-inducing "36 percent Indian scientists in NASA" ? That is not a correct fact. Read this article.

The coming age is an age of innovation and getting the things done at just a fraction of cost.

So many technologies have potential but never materialise.

Its an interesting idea, if you can find the research paper or patent on it, please upload it here. All I could get are some news media coverage without anything scientifically substantial data.

Indeed. A universal source of electricity like Nantero's NRAM universal computer memory.

if you can find the research paper or patent on it, please upload it here.

OK.

All I could get are some news media coverage without anything scientifically substantial data.

Yes, maybe you have read this interview of the three leaders of the company in which they speak about first prototypes ( months after the Corona lockdown ends ), pricing, battery life and other things.

Nevermind, I found the patent from the Scientist listed as the spokesperson, from the University of Bristol.

Compared to chemical battery technologies, radioisotope batteries tend to have low power output. However, they have the advantage of long lifetimes, reduced size, and high energy density.

The quote is taken from the patent listed by him.

US20200203033A1 - Radiation powered devices comprising diamond material and electrical power sources for radiation powered devices - Google Patents

Provided herein is a radiation powered device comprising a semiconductor comprising a diamond material.

Hence the battery will not be effective for using in cars, or any other applications that will need a significant current/power output. But these types of batteries does have its unique advantages. Similar ideas has been used by NASA to use the thermo-ionic emission from radioactive decays to generate electricity by using thermoelectric generators. (TEGs)

And one such materialization has the potential to change the future of India and the world.

I too had read an interview on the same newatlas.com website with somebody from University of Bristol who with a few others have started a company to commercially produce Carbon-14 diamond batteries. That person doubted the claims of the NDB people. But I keep posting NDB's claims because they may have a way to produce a tiny-sized diamond battery which can be connected / stacked up with other diamond batteries so as to realize a bigger, high power output battery.

Yes, I am aware of one variant which combines a thermoelectric generator with a Stirling Engine :

ASRG
Main article: Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generator

In the early 21st century, a major project using this concept was undertaken: the Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generator (ASRG), a power source based on a 55-watt electric converter.[1] [2] The thermal power source for this system was the General Purpose Heat Source (GPHS). Each GPHS contained four iridium-clad Pu-238fuel pellets, stood 5 cm tall and 10 cm square, and weighed 1.44 kg. The hot end of the Stirling converter reached 650 °C and heated helium drove a free piston reciprocating in a linear alternator, heat being rejected at the cold end of the engine. The alternating current (AC) generated by the alternator was then convertedto 55 watts direct current (DC). Each ASRG unit would use two Stirling converter units with about 500 watts of thermal power supplied by two GPHS units and would deliver 100-120 watts of electric power. The ASRG underwent qualification testing at NASA Glenn as a power supply for a future NASA mission. The ASRG was designed into many mission proposals in this era,[3] but was cancelled in 2013.
