RESEARCHERS UNVEIL ENERGY STORAGE MECHANISM IN THE THINNEST POSSIBLE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY (shared) A team of scientists from the University of Manchester has achieved a significant breakthrough in understanding lithium-ion storage within the thinnest possible battery anode - composed of just two layers of carbon atoms. Their research, published in Nature Communications, shows an unexpected ‘in-plane staging’ process during lithium intercalation in bilayer graphene, which could pave the way for advancements in energy storage technologies. https://lnkd.in/e_gW2uY4 #grapheneage

Unleashing the Graphene Revolution
About us
Graphene is about to change our world. Graphene is vastly more important to the 21st Century than plastics were to the 20th Century. Graphene is the megatrend of the 21st Century. Many leading tech companies and numerous startups are poised to enhance hundreds of products with graphene. ‘Flakes’ are industry’s preferred form factor of graphene. However, mass production of graphene-enabled products is held back because there is no known technology to produce industrial quantities of reasonably priced very high-quality graphene flakes. Explosive growth in demand for graphene flakes is expected as soon as industrial quantities of very high-quality graphene become available at reasonable price. Avadain has successfully demonstrated a breakthrough, globally patented and green manufacturing process to produce large, thin and nearly defect free graphene flakes at low cost. We need to upscale to high-throughput production lines. We have the team, including strong partners, to achieve continuous production. Avadain has a capital-light licensing model to democratize graphene. Based on our highly differentiated technology and global patent portfolio, we plan to license our graphene flake manufacturing process to (1) advanced materials manufacturing companies, (2) graphene applications companies and (3) end users which need to assure quality and reliability of supply. Avadain’s mission is to unleash the Graphene Revolution. Our goal is that our flakes will touch the lives of most people every day, making the world a cleaner, better place.

GRAPHENE'S PROTON PERMEABILITY: A SWITCH FOR FUTURE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Post from U of Manchester “Understanding the connection between electronic and ion transport properties in electrode-electrolyte interfaces at the molecular scale could enable new strategies to accelerate processes central to many renewable energy technologies, including hydrogen generation and utilisation.” Dr. Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo Researchers from the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester have discovered a way to use light to accelerate proton transport through graphene, which could revolutionise the way we generate hydrogen.

From developing super-strong concrete to making seawater drinkable - The Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre is home to the people making things happen. This week marks twenty years since graphene, the Nobel Prize-winning "wonder material," was first isolated by Professors Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostya Novoselov right here in Manchester.

What a fun intro explanation to graphene! Have a listen and share to your friends who may need a smile this morning. #graphene #grapheneage
Strong, Iconic & Northern: Graphene Turns 20 Na’ then, a little birdy told me yous don’t know about graphene. Or that 20 years ago, it was discovered in god’s own country: Manchester. This mad discovery happened in 2004, innit. And these smarties at The University of Manchester are the geezers who did it. Graphene - The University of Manchester was isolated for the first time in 2004. This is yet another example of the North being pioneers in scientificdiscovery and innovation on a global scale. It’s an incredibly unique and innovative material, but not many people know about its incredible uses! So, we hired a celebrity impersonator to help spread the word… #Graphene20 #Graphene

Amazingly, this week, Graphene turns 20! In such a short space of time, it's already proven to be pivotal in several emerging technologies and sectors. As we celebrate the isolation of the 'wonder material', what are some of your hopes for the future of Graphene application?

What if you accidentally invented a material that would lead to a Nobel Prize? Together with Konstantin Novoselov, Andre Geim used Fridays to carry out quirky and fun experiments they didn't have the time to do during their research projects. One of these Fridays, they started experimenting with graphite and tape and managed to make the new material graphene. After successfully producing graphene, Novoselov and Geim mapped its properties: a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. This makes graphene incredibly thin but still incredibly strong. Graphene is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It's also almost entirely transparent yet very dense. Its invention has led to new possibilities within materials technology and electronics.

Today marks 20 years since Professors Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostya Novoselov, happened upon graphene. This great article from Akanksha Urade, Ph.D. gives a little more in depth look at the history and controversy surrounding graphene over the years. https://lnkd.in/dS8C3e92 #graphene #grapheneage #graphenerevolution

Happy 20th Anniversary to the isolation of Graphene!! Thank you Professors Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostya Novoselov, for without your pioneering efforts we would not have the incredible possibilities of this amazing material.
On This Day in 2004, two physicists at The University of Manchester, Professors Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostya Novoselov, made a discovery that would change the landscape of material science forever – the isolation of graphene. This groundbreaking moment began as part of their "Friday night experiments" where curiosity took centre stage. Using a simple piece of sticky tape, they peeled away ultra-thin layers of graphite, a technique known as mechanical exfoliation. What started as a playful experiment quickly turned into something extraordinary. As Sir Kostya Novoselov recalls, "Within half an hour of picking up that Scotch tape, we had made our first device... then we realised we had made this one-atom-thick material." Their accidental yet ingenious method gave birth to graphene, a 2D material with remarkable properties: ultra stronger, more conductive than copper, and incredibly flexible. This discovery not only earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 but also sparked a "gold rush" of interest in graphene and other 2D materials research across the globe. Twenty years later, graphene's journey from the lab to real-world applications continues to evolve. It is now at the forefront of innovation in industries like electronics, energy storage, and advanced materials, proving that the simplest ideas can lead to the most revolutionary outcomes.

Healthcare-associated infections are a widespread problem around the world, causing great suffering, high healthcare costs and a heightened risk of increased antibiotic resistance. Most infections occur in connection with the use of various medical technology products such as catheters, hip prostheses, knee prostheses and dental implants, where bacteria are able to enter the body via a foreign surface. At Chalmers University of Technology, researchers have been exploring how #graphene, an atomically thin two-dimensional graphite material, can contribute to the fight against antibiotic resistance and infections in healthcare.

Senior Research Physical Scientist at U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC)
Always pleased to share our groups publications, but this is especially true for our #Graphene work. Our recent paper "Adsorption of Aqueous Insensitive Munitions Compounds by Graphene Nanoplatelets" in Journal of Hazardous Materials (IF:13.6) captures the hard work by #SWIMR team members Luke Gurtowski, Sheila McLeod, and Sarah Grace Zetterholm with a deep dive into molecular and noncovalent interactions of #graphene in environmental applications. This builds on our groups portfolio of work to move #graphene beyond the hype and into fit for purpose applications. Thanks to our collaborarotors at Rice University, Vanderbilt University, and U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC)
