As the world continues to seek cleaner and more efficient energy solutions influenced by net-zero targets and the relentless global energy crisis, graphene-enhanced thermal polymers are fast becoming a revolutionary material in water heating systems. In recent years, research and development initiatives by Senergy Innovations and First Graphene Ltd (FGR) have developed novel graphene-enhanced solar thermal panels that have a profound ability to absorb the thermal energy from the sun and transfer it to heat water. Also known as solar collectors, this technology is different to electricity gene ..read more

Supercapacitors are fast becoming the power-boosting energy storage device of choice for the world’s growing fleet of electric vehicles, industrial machines and electronic consumer goods. Graphene’s unique properties could deliver the enhanced energy transfer capability required for increasing electrification, decarbonisation and greening economies. First Graphene’s (FGR) continued development of its PureGRAPH® range of graphene-based products and research into how they can be used to enhance supercapacitors – which store and provide bursts of electrical charge – may be transformational and c ..read more

Already touted as a cleaner, more efficient source of renewable energy, perovskite solar solutions stand to see further improvements with the incorporation of graphene.   The race for large-scale renewable energy solutions is in full flight around the world. Far more than being nice to have, renewables are a mandated and growing part of the energy mix for many governments. However, there is a large overhead associated with the decommissioning of current infrastructure and the production and rollout of new infrastructure requirements, including generation, transmission and storage, t ..read more

Like most industries around the world, reducing carbon emissions is a key focus for the cement and concrete sectors. Chasing a 25 per cent reduction target for concrete and 20 per cent reduction for cement by 2030, the quest for solutions is gathering plenty of momentum – and graphene is proving its worth at multiple stages across the supply chain.   The race for greener cement and concrete solutions is moving at full speed. Industry is looking for more than just laboratory research and is crying out for commercially viable options to help reduce the carbon footprint synonymous with ..read more
