CVD Equipment has introduced a new portfolio of products made of a three-dimensional graphene-foam like material functionalized by chemical vapor deposition.
The trade name of the new graphene product line is CVD3DGraphene, which paves the way for making new superior performance products.
CVD Equipment’s Vice President of Business Development, Karlheinz Strobl stated that the chemical vapor deposited three-dimensional graphene products have numerous two dimensional graphene sheets that are completely interlinked both electrically and mechanically in three dimensions. This innovative, highly adaptable cellular material platform demonstrates most of the high-performance properties of the conventional two-dimensional one-atom-thick graphene sheets, Strobl said. Chemical vapor deposition, chemical grafting or/and electro deposition can be used to further functionalize these three-dimensional graphene materials into highly sophisticated materials for the development of superior performance products, he added.
Strobl further said that this novel nano-material platform integrates the three-dimensional macroscale world of products with the traditional two-dimensional nano-world through an efficient producible method. Several innovators are already using the innovative material platform for a broad array of product applications, he said. The development of more variety of materials using the platform will increase the growth opportunities in the market, he added.
The President and Chief Executive Officer at CVD Equipment, Leonard Rosenbaum commented that with the support of the company’s process development and production capabilities and equipment design and production capabilities, the company’s subsidiary, CVD Materials, a provider of nano-enabled products and materials, can now reduce the market-reach time for its nano-enhanced material products. With the launch of CVD3DGraphene products utilizing various nickel foam templates and tuning the carbon film layer thickness, the company can offer a broad array of CVDGraphene research materials for the development of novel products such as ultracapacitors, superior-performance batteries, and liquid, gas and biosensors, Rosenbaum concluded.
