Graphene revolutionized the way we think about strength, conductivity, and nanoscale performance in high-performance materials. The discovery was a Nobel Prize-winning one and has triggered innovation across numerous industries, ranging from electronics to aerospace. The highest quality form is Research Grade Graphene, which is manufactured for extremely accurate scientific and industrial research.
What is Research Grade Graphene?
Research grade graphene is a highly pure, thin, two-dimensional carbon material. It is typically present as a fluffy powder and is single or mono-layer graphene sheets or few layers. It is extremely high in surface area and is an extremely good electrical conductor.
It’s commonly used in:
- Nanotechnology R&D
- Electronics prototyping
- Biomedical sensing
- Academic research and education
- Advanced coatings and energy storage studies
Key Specifications of Research Grade Graphene
| Property | Specification |
| Purity | > 99% |
| Particle Size | D50:< 30µ |
| Thickness | 0.8 – 1.6 nm |
| Bulk Density | 0.014 g/cm³ |
| Physical Form | Fluffy Powder |
| Colour | Black |
| Surface Area | 400 – 600 m²/g |
These specifications make research grade graphene one of the prefered material for nano-scale exploration and innovation.
Why Graphene?
Graphene consists of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal lattice structure, a single atom in thickness.
That structure provides it with a distinctive set of properties:
- Electrical Conductivity
- Thermal Conductivity
- Mechanical Strength
- Lightweight
- Transparency
Unique Properties of Research Grade Graphene
This high-grade material is often referred to as “graphene nanopowder” or “single or monolayer graphene.” Each flake is composed of monoatomic carbon layers and exhibits:
- High aspect ratio for structural and conductive benefits
- Black fluffy powder appearance
- Nano-scale thickness ideal for surface-sensitive applications
- Consistent dispersion for solution processing
Due to its purity and shape, this form of graphene is most suitable for applications that require high sensitivity, reproducibility, and reliability.
Applications of Research Grade Graphene
Thanks to its unmatched set of physical and chemical properties, research grade graphene is being used in a growing list of fields:
- Conductive Coatings
- Printed & Flexible Electronics
- Sensors & Biomedical Devices
- Batteries & Energy Storage
- Defense & Aerospace
- Automation & Smart devices
- Solar Cells
- Microchips & Semiconductors
- Space Technology
Its unique combination of strength, conductivity, and flexibility also makes it suitable for use in conductive inks, especially in printed circuit fabrication and microelectronic components.
