A leading developer of clean energy technology, enabling the world’s most progressive companies to decarbonise at scale and pace, an AI-based forecasting and risk management tool that could save billions of pounds by preventing project delays and graphene sensors many times more sensitive than established silicon technology are competing to be named the UK’s leading engineering innovation.
New research led by the University of Bath has shown that surface-modified graphene could transform the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for industrial use as a bleaching agent or disinfectant.
MIT researchers have designed a scalable solution that could transform solar cell technology and create new opportunities when it comes to producing solar energy.
Graphene is a two-dimensional material that could potentially have a significant impact on next-gen technology, but it could be argued that nobody agrees about what exactly that material is – with manufacturers offering a range of materials with different characteristics, all sold under the umbrella term “graphene”.
Graphene Composites (GC), a leading innovator in advanced materials engineering and William Blythe, leading chemicals innovator and part of the Synthomer Group a FTSE 250 company, announce a successful partnership in William Blythe’s supply of graphene oxide for use in GC Halo®, a unique coating for air filters that destroys viruses, bacteria and mould on contact.
