Graphene Overtaking Carbon Nanotubes - 0 views

  • Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have not yet met commercial expectations from a decade ago, and now hot on its heels is graphene. Graphene is considered a hot candidate for applications such as computers, displays, photovoltaics, and flexible electronics. IDTechEx market forecasts indicate that CNT and graphene transistors may be commercially available in volume from 2015 onwards, according to the new report \"Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for Electronics Applications 2011-2021\". According to IDTechEx, the biggest opportunity for both materials is in printed and potentially printed electronics, where the value of these devices that partly incorporate these materials will reach over $44 billion in 2021.

China, South Korea, United States and Europe making big bets on mass produced graphene - 1 views

  • China has started mass production of graphene films used in production of cell phone and computer touch screens as a new production line began operation. The production line is in a graphene industrial park in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality. It can produce tens of millions of graphene films every year.

Water Droplet "Chaperons" Could Usher in New Era of Graphene Nanodevices - 0 views

  • Chemists at the University of Illinois at Chicago have found that nano-sized water droplets can act as molecular chaperons that guide graphene into precise nano-shapes including capsules, knots, rings and even sandwiches.  Graphene is a futuristic nanomaterial that forms sheets the thickness of one atom.

EU EUR 1 Billion Graphene Flagship - 0 views

  • Graphene Flagship – the EU's biggest research initiative ever, and, according to the European Commission, 'history's greatest distinction for excellent research'– is closely linked to the Graphene Centre at Chalmers. With a budget of EUR one billion, the Graphene Flagship is tasked with taking graphene from the realm of academic laboratories into European society in the space of ten years – thus generating economic growth, new jobs and new opportunities for Europeans as both investors and employees. There are already 126 research groups from universities, research institutes and companies on-board the flagship.

Graphene Markets, Technologies and Opportunities 2014-2024 - 0 views

  • Graphene is still in search of its killer application that delivers a unique value proposition or a first mover advantage. In the absence of such applications, the commercialisation process remains a substitution game. This is not meritless as graphene can target a broad spectrum of applications including energy storage, composites, functional inks and electronics. The value proposition of graphene, the competitive landscape, the technical requirements, and the likely graphene manufacturing techniques will be different for each sector, resulting in market fragmentation. Therefore, the graphene market will in fact grow to consist of multiple subsets.

Strengthening effect of single-atomic-layer graphene in metal-graphene nanolayered comp... - 0 views

  • Here we demonstrate a new material design in the form of a nanolayered composite consisting of alternating layers of metal (copper or nickel) and monolayer graphene that has ultra-high strengths of 1.5 and 4.0 GPa for copper–graphene with 70-nm repeat layer spacing and nickel–graphene with 100-nm repeat layer spacing, respectively.

Graphene Has High Current Capacity, Thermal Conductivity - 0 views

  •  
    Recent research into the properties of graphene nanoribbons provides two new reasons for using the material as interconnects in future computer chips. In widths as narrow as 16 nanometers, graphene has a current carrying capacity approximately a thousand times greater than copper - while providing improved thermal conductivity.

Graphene tunnel barrier makes its debut - 0 views

  • Researchers in the US have found yet another use for the "wonder material" graphene. Instead of exploiting the material's exceptional ability as an electrical conductor, the team has found a way to use graphene as an extremely thin "tunnel barrier" to conduction. The team says that this new application is particularly suited to developing spintronics – a relatively new technology that exploits the spin of an electron as well as its charge.

A 'sideways' approach to 2-D hybrid materials - 0 views

  • “People call graphene a wonder material that could revolutionize the landscape of nanotechnology and electronics,” ORNL’s An-Ping Li said. “Indeed, graphene has a lot of potential, but it has limits. To make use of graphene in applications or devices, we need to integrate graphene with other materials.”

Assessing the real opportunity for graphene in a fragmented market - 0 views

  • Graphene has enormous commercial potential. Its growth however is being hampered by two factors. First is the fact that there is market confusion and uncertainty across the different types of graphene and different manufacturing processes. The second is that, in many cases, graphene is attempting to do what already commercially exists, only a little bit better and/or a little bit cheaper (if the volumes are achieved).

Koreans say graphene supercapacitors are ready for electric cars - 0 views

  • Now Santhakumar Kannappan at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea and a few pals say they have a solution based on the wonder material of the moment–graphene. These guys have built high-performance supercapacitors out of graphene that store almost as much energy as a lithium-ion battery, can charge and discharge in seconds and maintain all this over many tens of thousands of charging cycles.

Graphene use in future - 0 views

  • Of particular interest to the local audience was the potential for using graphene as a replacement for metals such as copper – Chile being the world’s largest producer of the metal.

Show report: Graphene supply, application and commercialization 2014 (Manchester, UK) - 0 views

  • It’s been 10 years since graphene was isolated by Geim and Novoselov at Manchester University in the UK. Today, graphene is available to purchase from a range of suppliers, you can buy equipment for growing it on wafers and foils and you can find graphene in products on the market, but the so-called “wonder material” is still in the early stages of its commercial journey.
