Grolltex Drives Dramatic Increase of Single Layer CVD Graphene Production
Graphene and 2D materials producer, Grolltex has completed its recent capacity expansion and released production for 30,000 eight-inch wafer equivalents per year at its CVD monolayer fabrication facility in San Diego, California. This ‘single atomic layer’ type of graphene is used in advanced electronics and other nano-devices and supports many use cases in wearables, IoT,
Grolltex Releases ‘Enhanced Performance Graphene’ for Electronic Devices
San Diego based graphene and 2D materials producer Grolltex has completed characterization and is releasing for commercial sale a configuration of large area, single layer graphene that exhibits dramatically improved ‘electron mobility’, which translates to better graphene performance. This ‘heterostructure’ contains a layer or layers of hexagonal Boron Nitride (or ‘hBN’) underneath graphene, enabling enhanced
Grolltex Opens Manufacturing Facility for ‘Graphene Accelerator’ Material hexagonal Boron Nitride
San Diego based graphene and 2D materials producer Grolltex has completed qualification, and released for production, the largest commercial manufacturing facility in North America for graphene complement material, single layer ‘hexagonal Boron Nitride’ (or hBN). The company began shipping the new material to pre-qualified customers in May and is now selling large area mono layer
The Role of Graphene in the Technology of Tomorrow
The story of graphene – a semimetal material which has the potential to be used in a wide range of scientific, industrial, and commercial applications – is one which demonstrates both the frustrations and the possibilities of human research, as well as our continuing effort to shape the world around us as we see fit.
Your Guide to the Materials of Tomorrow
Durable, lightweight, and economical. If a material can meet these three criteria, there is a place for it in the near future. The reason is simple: humanity has recognized the finiteness of the natural resources available to us. In order to trailblaze the 21st century, societies need to adapt for ways to get as much
The New Frontier of Water Conservation
It’s hard for some people to wrap their heads around water scarcity. Isn’t the world three-fourths water? We’re the little blue planet, after all! How hard can it be to find fresh water? As it turns out, only two and a half percent of the Earth’s water is considered “fresh.” The rest is salt water
The Need for 2D Material Standards (and what Grolltex is doing about it)
The emerging industries for graphene and hexagonal boron nitride have reached the stage where it has become critical for appropriate standards to be agreed upon. A few companies have been marketing questionable products, claiming to be true graphene. It has become obvious that there is a need to protect corporate consumers as well as legitimate
How Graphene Can Make Photodetectors More Responsive
It seems like every few months, scientists discover some brand new property about the miracle substance graphene, which dramatically increases its value to mankind, and makes it even more useful commercially. In a very recent paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo announced that he and a team of researchers at the University of Manchester
Graphene Set to Revolutionize the Internet of Things
The place where graphene was first discovered has now announced that there is a new low-cost, immediately practical use for the super material which could conceivably completely revolutionize the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as some other related applications. The University of Manchester research team has developed graphene humidity sensors which can be embedded into RFID’s,
Graphene Could Improve Farming
To no one’s surprise, the usefulness of graphene has now been applied to farming improvements, with new technology developed at Iowa State University. Ever since its discovery, the super-strong, super-conductive graphene has been used in more and more applications that can take advantage of its extraordinary properties, and this one involves using it as a
