First time I have heard of graphene

Graphene is another form of carbon atoms. Like diamond, bucky-balls, carbon nano-tubes, etc. The only difference with graphene is that the carbon atoms are now arranged in a hexagonal (six sided) patterned flat-sheet. In theory, you can produce a sheet of graphene that is only one carbon atom thick that is transparent like glass and conducts heat & electricity very well. And given it is as strong as diamond, applications of this material can be quite wide.

The current problem with using graphene in volume is it is very expensive to make and it can only be produced in very tiny quantities.

Hence, any talk of using graphene batteries is equal to vaporware.
