Advanced carbon material
Graphene
A single atom of carbon, infinite implications. Two decades after its isolation in Manchester, graphene is moving out of the lab and into concrete, batteries, coatings, and composites.
What is graphene
Graphene is a two-dimensional allotrope of carbon: a single layer of atoms locked in a repeating hexagonal lattice. That structure is the source of every headline property, with in-plane bonds among the strongest in nature and a sea of delocalised electrons that carries charge and heat with almost no resistance. Graphene has moved out of the lab and into real products, and it is now used across coatings, composites, batteries, sensors and electronics. The focus today is on scaling consistent, high quality supply to meet that demand.
