News Graphenea Europe

Graphene can be used to enhance photonics, as a detector for light, an optoelectronic transceiver, or as part of high-resolution imaging systems.

A surprising application of graphene is its use in photodetectors. Light detection capabilities of graphene are inherently limited because a single sheet of the material absorbs only ~2.3% of light across the visible part of the spectrum. Such high...

Graphenea announces the launch of a new product highly flat monolayer graphene. The graphene is grown by CVD on copper thin film on a 2 sapphire substrate. With extremely low roughness that is less than 4 nm, this new product is targeted at applications in photonics, high-performance electronics, magnetic memory, and freestanding membranes.

The product aims to meet wafer-scale integration...

Graphenea and 19 partners from 14 countries launched an initiative to fill the skills gap and boost workforce diversity by tightening collaboration between the microelectronics industry and education providers. The project, dubbed METIS Microelectronics Training, Industry and Skills will focus on the skills and related training needed to support emerging verticals such as artificial intelligence...

Freestanding membranes of suspended graphene have unique applications in low-power displays, gas impermeable membranes, MEMS and NEMS pressure sensors, water filtration, high sensitivity ultrasonic speakers and microphones, quantum memories, and for fundamental scientific studies of opto- and nano-mechanics. All of these applications, for which graphene as a material stands unrivalled, put...

Photovoltaic devices, or solar cells, are a means of generating electricity from sunlight in an environmentally friendly manner without emissions. Among the various types of solar cells, organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are known as lightweight, transparent, thin and flexible solutions.

OPVs generally consist of a charge donor layer, a charge acceptor layer, and two electrodes for charge extraction....
