• Aramco Ventures invests in Finnish ROTOBOOST to scale graphene production from methane
  ROTOBOOST, a Finnish energy transition technology company, has received a strategic investment from Aramco Ventures, the venture capital arm of Saudi Aramco. The company will use the funding to scale its methane pyrolysis technology, which splits methane and other hydrocarbons into low-carbon hydrogen and solid carbon materials, including graphene. ROTOBOOST’s process, which it calls thermal-catalytic […]
• HEG Advanced Materials approves a 500-tonne graphene plant as part of a battery materials expansion
  HEG Advanced Materials’ board has approved a graphene plant with a capacity of 500 tonnes, to be built in two phases by its wholly owned subsidiary, HEG Graphene Materials Limited. The project carries a capital cost of about ₹500 crore (about US$53 million), and the company is targeting commercial operations in September 2028. The announcement […]
• Graphene mesosponge outperforms carbon nanotubes as a conductive additive in high-loading Li-ion cathodes
  Researchers at Yokohama National University, Yonsei University and 3DC have shown that graphene mesosponge (GMS), a three-dimensional, sponge-like graphene material, can improve ion transport in dense, high-loading lithium-ion battery cathodes. In their tests, an electrode containing just 1 wt.% GMS outperformed one with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), a conductive additive used in commercial cells, at […]
• VN Graphene Global inaugurates its graphene production plant in Gia Lai
  VN Graphene Global has inaugurated its Graphene Production and Application Plant at Nhon Hoi A Industrial Park in Gia Lai province, Vietnam.  The project represents a total investment of 202 billion VND (about US$7.8 million) and has a designed capacity of 3,600 kg of product per year. The company says the plant currently focuses on […]
• Six-layer rhombohedral graphene shows new superconducting and electrically switchable magnetic states
  Researchers at Cornell University, the National Institute for Materials Science (Japan) and the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have found new superconducting and magnetic states in rhombohedral hexalayer graphene, a stack of six graphene layers arranged in a staggered, repeating pattern.Rhombohedral multilayer graphene has become a platform for exploring correlated […]
• New technique films light-driven quantum tunneling of electrons in graphene
  Researchers at the University of Regensburg, Philipps University of Marburg, Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) and RWTH Aachen University have directly imaged how the electric field of a light pulse drives electrons across the energy gap in graphene, using a new technique with attosecond precision.The effect is known as Landau-Zener-Majorana tunneling, in […]
• AirMembrane raises funding to prepare mass production of graphene EUV pellicles
  Venture firm Global Brain has led a new funding round in AirMembrane, a Japanese developer and manufacturer of graphene pellicles for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Global Brain invested through its Global Brain Flagship Fund IX. The TAKANAWA GATEWAY Global Co-Benefits Fund joined the round for the first time, and the Shinhan-GB FutureFlow Fund made a […]
• Voltage-defined “guardrails” could let graphene separate light-generated charges
  Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and TU Dresden, led by Ralf Schützhold, director of the HZDR Institute of Theoretical Physics, have proposed a new way to extract electrical current from light absorbed by graphene, using electrode voltages instead of graphene edges or folds.Graphene absorbs light and generates electrons and holes, but it has no […]
• Perpetuus graphene masterbatch could save tire makers about 165 kWh per ton of compound
  Perpetuus Advanced Materials has announced the results of an industrial production assessment of its surface-engineered graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) masterbatch in truck and bus radial (TBR) tire production. The company says the masterbatch eliminated two mixing stages, cut the assessed mixing time by about 21% and reduced electricity use across the mixing sequence by about 45%, […]
• Argo Graphene advances plans for a commercial graphene refinery near Chicago
  Argo Graphene Solutions has provided an update on its plan to build a commercial-scale graphene refinery in the Chicago, Illinois area. The company says it is in the final stages of securing a facility to house its STREAM production operations. A wholly owned Nevada subsidiary received authority to transact business in Illinois, effective October 15, […]
