The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Nagoya University, and NU-Rei (Higashi-ku, Nagoya, President: Yoshihiro Nakai) have jointly developed a cylindrical battery for space use that has approximately five times the performance of conventional lithium-ion batteries (LiB). developed. By using nanographene, a sheet-like material made from carbon atoms, they were able to achieve weight and cost reductions. It will be tested on JAXA's sounding rocket in 2026, and will be adopted for use in large-scale flagship rockets such as the H3. Civilian applications such as electric vehicles (EVs) will also be considered.
