Graphene is a two-dimensional nanomaterial  which is composed of monolayers of sp2-bounded carbon atoms. Graphene has drawn considerable attention in both academic and industry area for various potential applications including semiconductors, energy storage devices, and sensors due to their physical properties such as high room-temperature mobility, high thermal conductivity. Obtaining single layer graphene or few-layer graphene by adhesive tape or cleavage methods is not practical because these methods provide only limited opportunity for scaling up the graphene. However, the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process has been explored to synthesis large size single crystals and uniform films of monolayer graphene and bilayer graphene.  CVD is a method to produce graphene  which is fast, cheap and scalable. According to the experiences of graphene synthesis, it is well known that the growth of graphene is much easier from what is called ‘seed’. Chemical Vapor Depositio...

Nanografi Company was awarded with Horizon 2020 SME Instrument Phase 1 grant by European Union to launch one of the largest Graphene Manufacturing Plants in the world with its patent pending eco-friendly and cost efficient production method (GREENGRAPHENE). With its disruptive innovation of GREENGRAPHENE, Nanografi has applied for European Commission’s Horizon 2020 SME Instrument programme, a highly competitive and reputable fund aiming to increase Europe’s global competitiveness, and granted to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises with innovative & groundbreaking projects in Europe. As one of the pioneers in the field, Nanografi developed a graphene production method in 2016 which releases no hazardous substance to the environment, leaves almost no waste behind, and decreases the costs in significant amounts, without sacrificing the quality. Graphene Production is now Eco-Friendly as well Before 2016, graphene production was not only costly, but also suffering from en...

Find All Applications of Graphene Here:   60 Uses of Graphene – The Ultimate Guide to Graphene’s (Potential) Applications in 2019 Graphene's Photoresponsivity and Graphene Quantum Dots Although graphene shows low photoresponsivity due to weak light absorption in its structure, there is an option to overcome this problem. Fortunately,  Graphene Quantum Dots  which are a type of graphene with lateral dimensions less than 100 nm, have unusual chemical, physical, electronical, optical properties from quantum confinement. Also, GQDs are considered to be an alternative...

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

  An Exciting New Alternative for Smart Packaging Packaging industry is about to change most of its products with more advanced and integrated new designs. New package designs are considered to be smart and offer longer shelf lives for their containment from foods to industrial products. Packages will contain a simple cirquit and a digital screen which will give a continuously updated product status about freshness, any gas detection as a result of spoilage and so on. Packages will be impermeable to any gas or substance which causes possible spoilage/corrosion/breakage on products. Recent studies on advanced/smart packaging materials brought a new alternative for smart packaging systems. A recently discovered nanomaterial, namely graphene, seems to change all the quality assesments related with package industry very soon. Graphene is an extraordinary material which is a 2 dimensional (only 1 atom thick ~ 0,34 nm) nanomaterial consists of carbon atoms arranged as hexagons (l...

Graphene is known as the wonder material for today's technology thanks to its very small size (only one atom thick and considered 2 dimensional), electron mobility and heat transfer properties (is known as having the highest electrical and thermal conductivity), transparency (~%98) and mechanical performance (200 times stronger than steel). It has not many applications in the industry so far because mass production of the material is not yet achieved and its price is still high. Mass production and low prices for graphene will be achieved soon, so a lot of researchers worldwide has already been studying on the applications of this important material since its discovery (including researcers of important corporations like IBM, Samsung, GE etc.). IBM corporation is doing some of the leading works for the applications of graphene and they recently created and demonstrated a high speed transistor with this wonder material. It has the highest cut-off frequency achieved so far for a...

Graphene is a marvellous material and shows potential as novel anti-cancer therapeutic strategy ! Cancer starts when cells in our bodies start to reproduce out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. These abnormal cells form lumps, known as tumours. Cancer cells are able to invade other parts of the body, where they settle and grow to form new tumours known as secondary deposits - the original site is known as the primary tumour. The cells spread by getting into the blood or lymph vessels and travelling around the body. Cancer harms the body in a number of ways. The size of the tumour can interfere with nearby organs or ducts that carry important chemicals. For example, a tumour on the pancreas can grow to block the bile duct, leading to the patient developing obstructive jaundice. A brain tumour can push on important parts of the brain, causing blackouts, fits and other serious health problems. There may also be more widespread problems such as loss of appetite and increased en...

Mesoporous 3D architectures of silicon dioxide nanoparticles(SiO2), nickel silicate(NiO3Si), and cobalt silicate(CoO3Si) are for the first time prepared by using reed leafs as a sustainable silica source. Due to the 3D mesoporous architecture, nickel and cobalt silicate allow efficient charge transfer and mass transport, while at the same time buffering the volume changes during ion lithiation/delithiation processes. Especially, the nickel silicate electrode with the mesoporous 3D architecture shows a high specific capacitance, a good rate capability, and cycling stability for electrochemical capacitors. Graphene Nanoplatelet has been used as an electrode and channel material in electronic devices because of its superior physical properties. Recently, electronic devices have changed from a planar to a complicated three-dimensional (3D) geometry to overcome the limitations of planar devices. The evolution of electronic devices requires that graphene be adaptable to a 3D substrate. He...
