Then if you check out the silicon/graphene batteries and dig deep back into the grey matter of posts long ago, then you find this

The research team has already begun further work on this technology, which will include further study and research as part of the graphene spearhead two year project led by Varta Micro-innovations, WMG at the University of Warwick is a partner along with Cambridge University, CIC, Lithops and IIT (Italian Institute of Technology). The main goal of that project is to advance in pre-industrial production of silicon/graphene composites and their subsequent processing into lithium-ion batteries for high-energy and high-power applications. As part of that project WMG at Warwick will be optimizing the electrode research, scale up and pouch cell manufacture of the optimized Li-ion batteries.

Calm yourself fest. I can imagine you are pulling your hair out now;)I am a lth and bullish on this stock. I was talking about superg if you're read the post, calmly

[1teepee] 05/4/2019 12:49

You are the man,so cool. I think you are the best in the whole world

[1teepee] 05/4/2019 12:45

Superg thinks he is an insider in the Graphene industry. Massive egoThat report came out before he said and is available to all and no one needs permission to read it

[twatcher] 05/4/2019 12:39

superg1 does like to big himself up a bit.

"there's a report out"
(I know something you don't)
"I'll ask permission to link to it"
(I'm really going out of my way here)

When in fact it's from a EU funded organisaton and 1-click away from it's homepage !


As if any company is gonna say "NO !, don't reference this EU report !"

So in short a lot of what is in the graphene flagship annual report involves the ink from Versrsien. From flexible displays to batteries and solar cells to composites.

[superg1] 05/4/2019 12:31

A tip

Read this document which is all about VRS/Cambridge graphene ink, then read the graphene flagship report posted.



Originally, the roadmap of HIGRAPHINK (Highly Conductive Graphene Ink) consisted in demonstrating the viability of graphene as an additive for organic semiconducting materials, to drive proof-of-concept Organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. But the project was so successful at creating graphene with previously unthinkable properties that its host, the University of Cambridge, decided to stick to readying it for commercialisation.

The team tested the new material in various devices. They notably created ultrafast lasers by incorporating the ink into polymers, on top of an optical fibre. They also used this material to modulate light in the terahertz range, which is the first step in creating ultrafast terahertz lasers. They created devices that can be photo-switched, and even novel memory devices. ‘We have also been able to extend this technique to other layered materials such as phosphorene or boron nitride,’ Prof. Ferrari enthuses.

As a result, when it comes to applications, it would now seem that only the sky is the limit. HIGRAPHINK resulted in the creation of a spinoff called Cambridge Graphene Ltd, which was recently acquired by Versarien

‘Our intention was to create graphene with properties good enough to be used in transistors with a certain flexibility. This was also achieved, and we are now working with a company called FlexEnable to integrate our material into the design of future OLED displays,’ Prof. Ferrari adds.

graphene ink will be, he says that the final application may be in flexible and bendable devices, coatings, composites, sensors or energy storage devices.

Although Prof. Ferrari says it’s too soon to give out more information, he has already obtained further funding to bring HIGRAPHINK’s production technique to batteries.

Looks like you were right Fest!

Thanks for the hen on the report SG1. I anticipate some flow into ISAs on Monday. Tic toc, quack quack..

[superg1] 05/4/2019 12:19

BTW

I haven't read the document in any detail yet. Just on a quick scan I realised much of it was VRS ink but wouldn't be obvious to the masses.

Hence first up I let VRS known and asked if I could start mentioning what was obvious to me.

I have been given permission.

The main goal of this spearhead is to advance in pre- industrial production of silicon/graphene composites and their subsequent processing into lithium-ion batteries for high-energy and high-power applications, which can be disruptive for the current generation of accumulators.

On the Cambridge visit I was shown what was in the VRS button cell batteries. It was a small polymer disc which I was told was silicon and graphene. The lady about to start with VRS at Cambridge is a better expert. There was a lot going on re batteries and VRS ink. A battery room with dozens of batteries on test and various other kit.

She mentioned kit was arriving shortly to take the ink production up to 60 litres per day.

Back on the first Cambridge visit Prof Ferrari said for a modest investment the ink could be taken to 100,000 litres per year.

In a video with the kit owners Dr Stephen Hodge talked of unit show that could do 60,00 litres. It isn't big kit and can be taken to any amount needed by bigger machines and more of them.

It was a good video if anyone watched it and showed how ink could be tuned into a graphene thread and graphene aerofoam, which is a another topic in the Flagship document.

Self explanatory if you know that the VRS Cambridge method is microfluidisation

The University of Cambridge developed a new masterbatch production technique of polymer/ graphene composites with uniform dispersion of flakes by microfluidisation.

As I have pointed out many times dispersion is as important as the gnps. So clearly a breakthrough with something on the polymer front there.

[superg1] 05/4/2019 12:06

Back now.

In that report there area number of matters which I consider to be VRS.

Some comes from old reports like the higraphinks cords doc where it is spelt out, others are from all the links and visits.

To knock off a few.

As I said when a few of us did the Cambridge visit various scientists use the words spearhead project and some of those related to VRS ink.

EG after a bit of paying attention and cross referencing.

Solar panels Perovskite with graphene ink in then. Spin back some time and you will find VRS linked up with Dyesol who are now called Greatcell solar. Greatcell solar were working with Perovskite.

Long story short

New: Spearhead projects
• Solar panel farm on Crete: enhance solar panel performance with graphene electrodes

A European project is aiming to develop and install an innovative graphene-based perovskite solar cell on the Greek island of Crete with support from Australian materials specialist Greatcell Solar (GSL).

So that's one project that involves VRS ink as in the graphene flagship doc.

Btw Greatcell have gone but that project seems to be there in Crete.

Best stiick arround when he pays the milkman is my advice on that one !!LOL

[1teepee] 05/4/2019 11:56

They aren't for you matey;)

[metis20] 05/4/2019 11:39

Who is the gerbil? What is he/she?

With apologies to WS - and others as I have not been paying attention.

[jointer13] 05/4/2019 11:34

I have forgotten what I have forgotten !

[johnveals] 05/4/2019 11:31

I don't know what I have forgotten.

[alchemy] 05/4/2019 11:30

It worked well for IBM

[alchemy] 05/4/2019 11:29

I don't know what I will know.

[supernumerary] 05/4/2019 11:11

roger - you're right, I don't know what you know, although I'm fairly sure it's not as much as you think it is. I also suspect that you, like the gerbil, don't know what you don't know, which is rather a lot. Doubt is your friend, did you but know it ;¬)

[1teepee] 05/4/2019 11:05

Really hope it happens soon, unlike the build up to 190p last year
