Vorbeck Materials , a startup company based in Jessup, Maryland, is using a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)-developed method for developing graphene for better lithium air and lithium sulfur batteries. When combined with other advanced battery materials, it could effectively lower battery life cycle cost by up to 70%.
