What We Do
Single or few-atomic layer graphene films grown on copper foil using proprietary roll-to-roll CVD technology. Available in large-area formats, these films are used in electronics, batteries, sensors, membranes, and more. General Graphene offers CVD graphene films on a variety of substrates tailored to research and application needs.
Porous, three-dimensional structures composed solely of graphene, grown via template-assisted CVD on nickel foam. After etching and rinsing, the result is a freestanding graphene foam with applications in cell culture scaffolds, catalysis electrodes, heat transfer, and drug delivery.
2D carbon films offering low electrical resistance and biocompatibility, suitable for electronics, biosensors, and as disposable electrodes. Produced via CVD directly onto alumina substrates. These films are chemically and thermally stable, and can be deposited on quartz, alumina-based ceramics, and silicon, with applications in electrochemical biosensors, heating elements, chemical barriers, and X-ray imaging.
