UIC team uses graphene to prevent Li-ion battery fires

Lithium batteries’ tendency to occasionally catch on fire (an occurrence known as “thermal runaway”) is well documented, and may occur when the batteries overheat or cycle rapidly. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Engineering...

International team explores graphene-substrate interactions related to surface charges

Due to graphene’s 2D geometry, most of the device applications require graphene to be partially or fully supported by a substrate, which is typically silicon dioxide (SiO2). An important example of a typical graphene structure on SiO2 is the graphene field...
Mitsubishi develops MWIR and LWIR graphene-based sensors

Mitsubishi develops MWIR and LWIR graphene-based sensors

Mitsubishi has reportedly developed graphene-based MWIR sensors with extraordinarily high sensitivity. Thanks to an internal graphene FET gain, the responsivity is said to be 10 times higher than that of quantum-type IR sensors with no internal amplification....
