Ultra-Pure Graphene
Goodfellow, Coraopolis, PA, offers ultra-pure “green” graphene that is metal-free and applicable in metal-sensitive processes. The graphene is produced using a scalable process that involves breaking methane gas (CH4) into hydrogen and elemental carbon atoms in a plasma reactor. The carbon atoms then recombine into graphene sheets in the hydrogen atmosphere. The resulting graphene nanoplatelets are very thin and slightly crumpled, and they do not stack, making them suitable for electronic inks, polymers, metal composites, and coating.
