THE GRAPHENE
Graphenz is a platform that weaves together research, capital and management to find, fund and commercialize advanced nano-material manufacturing technologies and applications. These exciting technologies will change all preconceived notions in the areas of composites, electronics, drones, computers, hydrogen storage, drug delivery, sensors, energy, aviation and transportation.
Graphenez is currently using proprietary manufacturing techniques to create a scalable process for the production and commercialization of its first two products: (i) a new graphene carbon nanotube hybrid electrode material (“GCNT”) for use as an electrode and (ii) high-quality graphene flakes.
We are in the process of securing supply chain integration and ramping up production of these products as well as other new carbon nanomaterials.
Global Demand for Graphene after Commercial Production to be Enormous ,says Report
Published on February 28, 2014 at 7:21 AM (http://www.azonano.com/news.aspx?newsID=29510)
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global and ChinaGraphene Industry Report" report to their offering. Featuring excellent mechanical, thermal, electrical and magnetic properties, graphene enjoys broad prospect of its application in such fields as high-performance electronic devices, composite materials, sensors and energy storage. Thus far, the development of graphenes has been still at a R&D stage, yet worldwide mass production has not been realized. In 2012, the global graphene market size hit USD9 million, with the most robust demand for graphene from semiconductor electronics, energy (mainly referring to batteries) and composite material industries which stood at 27%, 20% and 13%, respectively.
In spite of the small market scale presently, the global demand for graphene after commercial production will be enormous. Take semiconductor silicon for example, the worldwide demand approximates 2,500 tons per annum. Provided that one tenth of crystalline silicon will be substituted by graphenes to make high-end integrated circuit, the market capacity ofgraphenes will be at least RMB500 billion. In addition, graphenes can be also used to make lithium ion battery anode materials, which can significantly improve the battery performance. Worldwide, the annual demand for anode materials surpasses 30,000 tons and keeps a growth rate of 20% or more. Provided graphenes are used to make anode materials that were used for one tenth of lithium ion batteries, the demand will grow to over 3,000 tons.

FLAKES
Developed by Professor Oren Regev and his team at Ben Gurion University (BGU) and exclusively licensed to Graphenez, BGU’s graphene flake production technology results in high-quality, few-layer, defect-free graphene flakes at a production cost that is hundreds of times less than the current market price of lesser quality graphene flakes.
Graphene flakes are produced by adding graphite to a mixture of water, alcohol, and diluted organic acid. This mixture is then exposed to ultrasonic irradiation (ultrasonication). The acid functions as a molecular wedge, which isolates graphene sheets from the main graphite.
Production underway as at the date hereof is consistently yielding .5 Kg per day.
Graphenez is ready to scale up production to the next level where the same quality of graphene flakes can be produced multiple kg/day quantities.
G/CNT
Graphene and CNT were first combined together at Rice University in 2013 through a unique and now patented process where a seamless connection is formed between the two substances. The tremendous value and effect created by combining these materials together in this fashion is a dramatic increase in anode operative material with materially higher gravimetric energy density, power density than any comparable material known to the market today. This means that batteries and can not only charge and discharge energy hundreds of times more rapidly than anything else on the market today but also store more energy than anything else on the market today.
This patented innovation is exclusively licensed to Graphenez and requires no process changes for battery manufacturers other than use of G/CNT in lieu of conventional electrode materials such as graphite. G/CNT can provide a 200%+ increase in the overall specific energy (defined below) of lithium ion batteries.
Proof of concept in the form of a cellphone battery will enable GC to offer a compelling competitive advantage to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that purchase pre-fabricated G/CNT electrode stock and incorporate it into their process for making batteries for use in both defense and commercial applications.
