Meh. Wake me up when Graphene is commercially sold.

Graphene is being used in high performance batteries for RC use (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-graphene-lipo-batteries....). They can put out a good bit more current than a regular lipo, I don't know the science behind it though.

Plenty of examples online, it's a matter of purity and number of defects: https://www.acsmaterial.com/materials/graphene-series.html
What's more interesting is flexibility. Current ceramic liquid-nitrogen-cooled superconductors are not flexible at all; they are brittle. This can be fine for a transmission line, but makes things hard for various coils.
