World’s first graphene-applied lead-acid battery mass produced in Sri Lanka


Graphene is the world's thinnest substance, and its interesting features have made it popular. "Graphene, for example, is 100 times stronger than the finest steel and 100 times stronger than diamond. It is durable, adaptable, and transparent. It is utilized to produce miniaturized, super-fast computers and transistors because it conducts so much electricity in such a small space."

In 2017, mining and quarrying contributed roughly 2.7 percent of Sri Lanka's GDP. "Graphene is renowned as the world's newest breakthrough substance, and increased exports might treble present export revenue." Sri Lanka is the only country in the world that produces vein graphite, which has been mined for over two centuries and is called locally as 'Miniran.'


For more than a century, Sri Lanka has been the world's only country to harvest ultra-pure extremely crystalline vein graphite with more than 98 percent carbon purity. Currently, Sri Lanka produces only 300 tons of graphite per month. Graphite in Sri Lanka is mostly produced from three mines: Bogala, Kahatagaha, and Ragedara. "Graphite from these mines can be harvested for another century, and Sri Lankan graphite is globally famous for its excellent quality and originality.


Ceylon Graphene Technologies Ltd is Sri Lanka's first graphene and advanced materials company, and it is currently looking to expand its value-added graphene exports in order to become the country one of the world's leading graphene producers.

This technology is ready for mass production and will be accessible on the market in the near future. The graphene and its derivatives outcome optimization is likely to be further modified, and substantial study is currently underway.


Graphene export is merely the first step. Their factory in Homagama will be fully operational as soon as possible. "This will assist us in increasing exports and manufacturing things for export such as vehicle batteries, computer processors, and solar power products." In addition to coatings, paints, and plastics, graphene additions are employed in automotive applications.


With the goal of making the country a global leader in graphene production. CGT has developed a new and sustainable graphite refining process in collaboration with SLINTEC that can create graphene from locally mined graphite at a lower cost. "The government, too, wants to see mining's share of GDP rise, and they're working on it."

The collaboration with Associate Battery Manufacturers to launch the first ever Graphene applied Lead Acid Battery has been one of CGT's success stories for the past one and a half years.

CGT has also attended numerous events and exhibitions across the world to promote and share our technology and knowledge, as well as to explore new business opportunities."

-SriLanka for reason.

Oldest Radio Station in Asia (world’s second oldest)-Radio Ceylon - Srilanka

Sri Lanka possesses Asia's (and the world's) oldest radio station. Radio Ceylon used to be the name of the station. It grew into one of the world's most prestigious broadcasting institutions. The Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation is now the name of the company. When the Telegraph Department began broadcasting in Ceylon on an experimental basis in 1923, just three years after broadcasting in Europe, Sri Lanka made Asian broadcasting history. A modest transmitter created by Telegraph Department engineers using the radio equipment of a captured German submarine was used to broadcast gramophone music from a tiny chamber in the Central Telegraph Office. This radio trial was a big success, and a regular broadcasting service was established only three years later, on December 16, 1925. Edward Harper, who arrived in Ceylon in 1921 as Chief Engineer of the Telegraph Office, was the first person in the country to actively push radio. With broadcasting services launched just thre...

Highest density of wild leopards in the world - Sri Lanka's Yala National Park

There are 26 national parks and two marine parks in Sri Lanka. Yala National Park is known for having the world's highest population of wild leopards as well as the world's largest leopards. According to reports, there is one leopard every square kilometer in one region of the Park, a staggeringly high amount when compared to anywhere else on the planet. According to unconfirmed sources, Sri Lanka has between 500 and 650 leopards in the wild. Sri Lankan Leopards can also be found in the much bigger Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka's largest. Although not as densely inhabited with leopards as Yala, the whole acreage of this National Park suggests that there may be a significant number of these large cats there. Leopard sightings are similarly uncommon in Sri Lanka's other national parks, as leopards prefer to avoid human settlements. During a visit to Yala, expect to observe grouchy bachelor male elephants during the dry season and enormous herds during the rainy ...

1st Female curator or grounds woman in the world- Arul Mary -Srilanka

    Arul Mary, a Tamil lady, worked as a pitch fixer at Sri Lanka's P. Saravanamuttu Stadium. She has been a long-time supporter of the Tamil Union Sports Club's P. Saravanamuttu Stadium, and she is the first and only woman to do so. Sir Donald Bradman, widely regarded as the greatest batsman in the world, played his debut match in Asia in 1948 at P. Sara Oval stadium, with the surface created by none other than the famous Arul Mary. Arul Mary, the female curator of Saravanamuttu Stadium, was well-known. Please share your knowledge of Arul Mary in the comments section below.
