re: Spec Play - HGRAF

Isnt there a minimum price it has to hole for a certain amount of time before its eligible to be listed? I thought it was like $4 for 60 days.

Just got a call from Schwab wanting me to loan out my shares.
I’m not doing it.
F - them.

you know why they want them, right?

I suspect part of it is that they are timing it so that they can synchronize their announcements for maximum effect.

I actually don't believe this to be true, they have and will announce things as they happen, such as the pipeline supply agreement with Western, the EPA approval, opening of the Autin HQ, etc, etc...

Well I assume so they can let someone short Hgraf.

Lower price on the horizon?

Don't be too hard on yourself for not being able to predict the future.

Enhanced Performance of a Supercapacitor by Addition
of Turbostratic Fractal Graphene to an Activated
Carbon Electrode

Abstract
This research explores the enhancement of supercapacitor performance
through the incorporation of a new form of turbostratic graphene (Fractal Graphene,FGA-1) into activated carbon (AC) electrodes. By combining FGA-1 with AC, the electrodes exhibit improved electrical conductivity and enhanced electrolyte diffusion, leading to superior charge storage capability. Material characterization confirms that the FGA-1–AC composite forms a synergistic structure, facilitating better interaction with the electrolyte. The composite electrodes demonstrate significant improvements in specific capacitance compared to AC-only counterparts. Enhanced wettability and optimized diffusion rates were identified as key factors contributing to these improvements. The findings highlight the potential of FGA-1 as an additive for improving the efficiency of carbon-based supercapacitors, providing a foundation for high-performance energy storage solutions suitable for a broad range of applications.

From the Introduction:


A novel form of graphene, known as Fractal Graphene, is manufactured by HydroGraph using a “Chamber Detonation” process—an adaptation of detonation synthesis—to produce pristine graphene powder (carbon content > 99%) on a commercial scale [26,27]. Originally developed by Prof. Christopher Sorensen at Kansas State University, this method involves detonating gaseous mixtures of oxygen and acetylene at varying oxygento-carbon (O/C) molar ratios (0.25–0.75) using an electrical spark. The process generates transient pressures above 190 psi and temperatures above 2430 K, creating nano-sized (20–50 nm) particles of few-layer graphene in a reproducible manner. The resulting graphene exhibits a turbostratic structure—where the individual layers are
stacked randomly—and is free of metallic impurities due to the absence of catalysts [26,27].


4. Conclusions
The experimental results presented here demonstrate that incorporating a small fraction (4 wt%) of Fractal Graphene (FGA-1) into activated carbon electrodes substantially enhances supercapacitor performance. Notably, the composite’s lower electrical resistance and faster electrolyte diffusion both contribute to significant increases in specific capacitance—from 45.95 F g-1 (AC only) to 172.6 F g-1 (AC:FGA-1).
Characterization using UV-Vis, SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy confirms that FGA-1 and AC form a physical mixture without major alterations in crystal structure. The synergy arises primarily from improved
wettability and conductivity rather than a simple increase in surface area. Enhanced electrode wettability allows electrolyte penetration into pores, thereby accessing more active sites for charge storage
Overall, these findings suggest that even a small amount of FGA-1 can enhance the energy density and rate capability of carbon-based supercapacitors, offering a promising pathway for high-performance energy storage devices in applications ranging from consumer electronics to renewable energy systems.
