Graphenea Foundry: a platform for the manufacture of graphene-based devices

This is a sponsored post by GrapheneaGraphenea’s Semiconductor catalogue spans from 1×1 cm2 single layer graphene films on a variety of substrates, to fully customized graphene-based device architectures implemented on wafers up to 150mm. The unique vertical...

Graphene oxide barrier to protect electronics, artwork and solar cells

Curtin University researchers have recently shown that applying a thin (and of course, invisible) layer of graphene oxide to silicon forms an impermeable barrier, which could be used to protect artwork, prevent corrosion of metals, and produce higher efficiency solar...

Graphene oxide helps create reusable wrapper to increase shelf life of fruits

Indian scientists have developed a graphene oxide composite paper, loaded with preservatives, that can be used as wrappers to help extend the shelf-life of fruits, stated the Department of Science and Technology.In the currently used technology, preservatives are...
Graphene oxide foam helps filter toxins from drinking water

Graphene oxide foam helps filter toxins from drinking water

MIT-led research team uses graphene oxide foam in a device that can extract uranium and other heavy metals from tap water.Some kinds of water pollution, such as algal blooms and plastics that foul various bodies of water, are found in plain sight. However, other...

First commercial contract for water filtration membranes enhanced with graphene oxide

UK’s G2O Water Technologies has reported securing its first commercial contract for the enhancement of water filtration membranes with graphene oxide. The Company explains that the advantages of using graphene oxide lie in the enhancement of membrane...
