Experiments with graphene in next-generation batteries are highlighting the important role that this material will have in future energy storage solutions.

The domination of lithium-based batteries on the portable energy market continues, due to the low cost and natural abundance of elemental lithium, coupled with the material’s good energy density properties. Rising energy demands pushed forward...

Graphenea’s suspended CVD graphene will be used in weightless conditions for testing the possibility of designing a light sail. Light sails are propulsion systems that utilize the pressure of light to move an object through space. Graphenea speaks to Santiago Cartamil-Bueno, leader of GrapheneX, the team of PhD students that will perform the experiment in weightless conditions in the ZARM Drop...

Graphenea announces the opening of its new graphene oxide (GO) pilot plant with 1 tonne per annum production capacity. Although Graphenea is already producing GO dispersion, powder, and films, the new plant significantly increases production capacity, simultaneously allowing for higher quality and batch-to-batch reproducibility. The plant houses in-line quality control of each individual batch.

Researchers have created a room-temperature spin transistor from graphene and molybdenum disulfide. A spin transistor is an essential component of future spintronic devices that will manipulate electron spin instead of charge for information processing. Using the spin degree of freedom instead of shuttling around charged carriers will lead to orders of magnitude energy savings for all our...

Graphenea, an SME leader in graphene production, is currently looking for a talented Predoctoral Researcher(Chemist / Physicist / Material Scientist) who is interested in performing a PhD thesis in the field of 2D materials Graphenea, located in San Sebastian, Basque Country (Spain), has been created with the mission of developing graphene-based process and product technology, as well as conducting related research activities. Graphenea has laboratories at Miramon Technology Park and CIC nanoGUNE where it has access to nanoGUNE’s state-of-the-art characterisation and nanofabrication research infrastructure.
