3D printing graphene to 10 micron resolution

Researchers develop high-resolution process for graphene 3D printing

Considering the following:

"Hensleigh said other processes could print down to 100 microns, but the new technique allows him to print down to 10 microns in resolution, which approaches the size of actual graphene sheets."

Along with the experimental measurement of 1.56 mWh cm⁻² from my previous post.

Let's do some arithmetic. First, if the 1.56 mWh per square centimetre were 10 microns thin. It would take 100 square centimetres in order to reach 1 millimetre thickness. Simply, 10 more of those can make for a cubic centimetre. Effectively that makes for 1000 square centimetres to make a cubic centimetre.

So, the 1.56 mWh cm^-2 becomes 1.56 Wh cm^-3.

Continuing with this scaling. A 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm cube of this material would effectively make for 1.56 kWh.

Now, let's make an assumption. Wherein, the 3D printing can be done in the 1 micron scale resolution. This adds another factor of 10 to the kilowatt-hour cube. In other words, the cube would have 15.6 kWh. As a result, this is approximately the same energy as gasoline and it can be recharged.

Given that this is based on assumptions and experimental results, we'll see what other advancements occur with graphene aerogels.
