Will the Note 9 be able to take advantage of any of these high watt phone chargers?

According to Ampere, i'm using this Google 18W USB C https://www.amazon.com/Google-Charging-Rapidly-Charger-devices/dp/B01MR7M2I5 and it can get up to 2700mA. Will something like:

Aukey 60W USB C https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W8M7T5W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A30DUECZICXS9V&psc=1
Ravpower 90W USB C https://www.amazon.com/Charger-RAVP...ower+usb+c+charger+dual&qid=1584838559&sr=8-5

actually charge faster than the Google USB C 18W charger? For the high watt chargers, i'll be using this CBUS 100W USB C 3.1 Gen 2 cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MW1ZWP6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3GNDTLYQCCHJP&psc=1
Just ordered it the cable.

The Ravpower 90W USB C will work with the Note 9, as it will lower the wattage to whatever your Note 9 will take.
I'm pretty sure that the Aukey 60W USB C wont work with the Note 9, but the one below will:

thanks for the reply, but why do you state that the Aukey in the OP flat out won't work with the Note 9? R u saying that it won't charge it? Or that it'll charge at ______ speeds?

I’m saying that it won’t fast charge the Note. There’s a note on the Amazon page that says that it won’t fast charge the Note 10, so I just assumed. You can call Amazon for confirmation.

Will the Note 9 be able to take advantage of any of these high watt phone chargers? .....
Old post, I know. But wanted to add some info in case someone else has this question....

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9's USB C port accepts Samsung Adaptive Fast charge or Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0 at up to 18 watts. It also accepts USB-C Power Delivery (PD) at up to 18 watts. This is the same with the S9 and S10 phones as well.

So any USB-C PD adapter that is 18 watts or higher will charge the Galaxy Note 9 or S10 series, at 18 watts only. That is the max these phones will draw or accept.

There is some confusion because the Note 10, 10+, S20 series and Note 20 series also add support for 25 watt "super fast charging" when using a USB-C PD 25 watt, or higher, charger that ALSO supports PPS. If the charger does not specify say PPS, assume it doesn't, and therefore won't charge these phones faster than 18 watts. Unfortunately there are plenty of higher watt USB-C PD adapters that do not support PPS so they are limited to 18 watt with these phones.

This is also why some higher watt USB-C chargers are described as not supporting or fast charging the Note 10+. If they don't include PPS, it could be a 90 watt charger but still only charge those phones at 18 watt speed.. Keep in mind the NOTE 10+ can also "super fast charge" at 45 watt, with a 45 watt or higher USB-C PD adapter that supports PPS. But again PPS is necessary.

And of course, there are the cable wattage ratings to be concerned with. A cable rated for 18 or 30 watt won't allow for charging above it's rating. When a charger from a reputable company includes a cable, that included cable will be rated for max wattage from the adapter. But if you buy the cable separately, !ale sure it supports the watts you need to charge with.
