Technique to synthesize monolayer films
A research group has developed a novel technique to synthesize monolayer films composed of neatly tiled two-dimensional materials, such as oxide nanosheets and graphene, on substrate surfaces in as quickly as one minute.
Researchers report progress of graphene-based membranes for water desalination project
Researchers have announced significant progress in their research in the field of optimized graphene-based membranes, which aim to make water filtration and desalination more efficient and sustainable.
From greenhouse gas to 3-D surface-microporous graphene
The folds of 3-D graphene make mesopore channels that work with the surface’s micropores to increase the material’s supercapacitive properties.
2D materials clean up their act
Two-dimensional materials such as graphene may only be one or two atoms thick but they are poised to power flexible electronics, revolutionise composites and even clean our water.
Collaboration to develop a turnkey quantum Hall system for graphene characterization
A collaborative project between Oxford Instrument, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at University of Manchester for a turnkey quantum Hall system for graphene characterization and primary resistance metrology has been successfully completed.
Designing highly reversible aluminum-ion batteries with graphene
Scientists have built a prototype Al-ion battery (AIB) that uses a graphene electrode to intercalate tetrachloroaluminate. The researchers have used the device to investigate the effect of defects and doping on battery performance.
Rice University team makes laser-induced graphene from wood
Researchers from Rice University have transformed wood into an electrical conductor by turning its surface into graphene. The team used its LIG technique to blacken a thin film pattern onto a block of pine.
Tata Steel to put first graphene product on the market
Tata Steel’s first graphene-based product is in the market – the company has announced the launch of ready-made graphene-coated stirrups, named Tiscon Superlinks+.
Novel technique using graphene to create solar cells
A new flexible, transparent solar cell made from graphene could transform how solar cells are utilized. Researchers have developed a low cost, organic material with electrodes of graphene that enables the method of depositing a one-atom thick layer of graphene onto a solar cell without damaging nearby sensitive organic materials.
