Cheap large-area ultrathin flexible graphene layer production method offered

Country of Origin: Lithuania
Reference Number: TOLT20170922001
Publication Date: 25 September 2017

Summary

A Lithuanian SME – investor in R&D projects – has patented a method for producing large-area, ultrathin, optically transparent and electrically conductive graphene layers. This new method allows for faster and cheaper production of ultra-thin electroconductive graphene layers that can be used for flexible smartphone screens and etc. The company is looking for commercialization partners or licensees under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or a license agreement.

Description

This Lithuanian SME, established in 2013, has been in close cooperation with a Faculty of Chemistry of one of Lithuanian universities since its inception and has obtained several patent rights in return for its investment services. One of the technologies patented by the company is a novel manufacturing method of optically transparent electroconductive graphene layer.

Graphene exhibits conductivity similar to that of metals, as well as great mechanical strength and flexibility. Also, thin layers of graphene absorb only a small part of electromagnetic radiation, making the material perfect for smartphone, TV and other display production. By producing graphene from graphene oxide, this patented method allows to produce cheap large-area ultrathin (~20 nanometers) graphene layers that are transparent (transparency no less than 50 %), electroconductive and flexible, allowing them to be used, for example, for flexible smart-phone screen manufacturing.

The company is looking for partners that would be interested in implementing this technology in manufacturing of electronics by obtaining patent rights or licenses under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or a license agreement.

Advantages and Innovations

The method is more advantageous than the method of growing graphene on a substrate in terms of being cheaper and faster.

The method is more advantageous than methods that involve surfactants in terms of the possibility to produce thinner layers with better electroconductivity.

This method is an improved solution in terms of layer thickness when manufacturing graphene from filtered and reduced graphene oxide

Stage Of Development

Under development/lab tested

Requested partner

Research institutions or industrial partners – users of optically transparent electroconductive materials or manufacturers of displays and similar electronics – are sought. The partners should be interested in obtaining patent rights or using this method in their manufacturing processes or research projects for a share of royalties under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or a license agreement.
