Graphene is proving useful for super capacitors as well. Below is a Canadian company also working on graphene based energy storage.

Better living through chemistry!

awesome!

Does anyone here have any experience with tiny gas or electric motors?

I am looking for something very small and light, that could run at its most efficient constant speed to run a battery charger.

is more than 90% efficient, and, to date, can be recharged more than 2000 times

Wow, that is a major step forward. Roughly 5 1/2 years assuming a nightly/daily charge. Think of route delivery trucks like the postal trucks and daily commuter cars. Of course, this will drive your electric bill through the roof ...

Cool. The battery capacity and reliability has been the technological wall.

“There’s still a lot of work to do,” said Liu. “But what we’ve seen here suggests that there are ways to solve these problems - maybe we’ve just got to look at things a little differently.”

While this sounds promising it also reminds me of the nuclear fusion power plants that have been promised for a long, long, long time. Hopefully, a battery might be easier.

Only ten years away!

Why we’ll have Fusion power by then! /s

Here is another from Israel, Phone in 30 seconds, 5 minute recharges for an electric car. "Store-Dot", watch the Video.
