I have sucessfully synthsized GNR not because I have an SEM to quantify them but because my anode material for K/S/SiO2 and Li/S/SiO2 is now conductive where as nothing worked before.

At over 65% by weight SiO2 when first wrapped with GNR and then carbon black added I am getting around 150,000 ohms resistance where as the previous versions were completely insulating.

When I add just 3 % copper 300 mesh powder the resistance drops to 2 ohms which is very exciting meaning I can actually print battery anodes and have them work without charge collectors.
