Latest articles on graphene science, industry, and applications
The most common outcome of a first graphene trial is not success or failure. It is ambiguity. The team adds graphene, sees a small change in one property and a small loss in another, and cannot tell whether the result reflects the material, the dispersion, the …
Read articleFew graphene applications have attracted more hype — or more skepticism — than batteries. Since the early 2010s, graphene has been described in press releases and crowdfunding …
The construction industry’s search for cement-reduction strategies has converged on a core principle: add a small amount of a high-performance nanomaterial to concrete, …
The graphene industry’s sustainability narrative has historically focused on graphene’s own environmental footprint — is production energy-intensive, what waste streams …
In 2010, research-grade graphene oxide cost approximately $200,000 per kilogram from laboratory suppliers. By 2015, commercial graphene nanoplatelets were available at …
Coatings represent one of graphene’s most natural commercial applications. The reasoning is intuitive: graphene is an atomically thin, impermeable barrier that is chemically …
If you are buying graphene, evaluating a supplier, or assessing the quality of graphene-enhanced products, you will encounter Raman spectroscopy data. It is the single most common …
As graphene production scales from laboratory quantities to industrial volumes — tonnes per year and growing — the question of occupational safety becomes urgent rather than …
The graphene industry has matured considerably since the early startup boom of the 2010s. Many companies that raised capital on graphene hype have quietly folded. The survivors — …
Graphene and carbon nanotubes are the two most prominent members of the carbon nanomaterial family. Both are built entirely from carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal lattices. Both …
If you have read anything about graphene, you have encountered the claim: graphene is 200 times stronger than steel. It appears in virtually every introductory article, investor …
For over a decade, the graphene industry has been waiting for its breakout electronics product — the application that would prove graphene could move from laboratory curiosity to …
When people talk about “the graphene supply chain,” they usually mean it as a singular thing — a pipeline from raw material to finished product that can be analyzed, …
