Dotz Nano teams up with UltraCharge to develop GQD-enhanced battery

UltraCharge, an Australian company based in Israel that aims to develop next-gen battery technology, has signed a cornerstone Joint Collaboration Agreement with Dotz Nano, in order to integrate graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in its anode technology for lithium-ion batteries. The agreement will see the two companies enter into a 3-month pilot cooperation program to develop […]

Novel hybrid material may inspire highly efficient next-gen displays

Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals with the potential to revolutionize diverse technologies,including photovoltaics, medical imaging and quantum computing. They can absorb UV light and produce sharp, bright colours, making them especially attractive for next-generation TVs, smartphones and LEDs. However, they are poor electrical conductors, and therefore inefficient to use in devices on their own. To […]

Innovation Forums put Spotlight on Commercialisation at Graphene Week

The Graphene Week Innovation Forums brought industrial and commercial graphene research to the forefront, highlighting key challenges and successes in the journey from lab to the factory floor. As the Graphene Flagship continues its journey, more and more commercial opportunities for graphene are identified. To reflect this, the Innovation Forums at Graphene Week in Athens […]

UK-China collaboration will develop graphene standards

The first UK-China Graphene Standardization Cooperation Working Group Conference, recently held in Chongqing, China, brought news of an agreement to collaborate on developing and submitting a co-authored International Organization for Standardization (ISO) proposal by February 2018. This joins other recent graphene standardization efforts, like NPL & NGI’s good practice guide for graphene metrology and NPL’s […]
