The story of graphene begins with graphite, a naturally occurring form of carbon that has been known to humanity for centuries. Graphite is composed of multiple layers of graphene stacked together, and it has been utilized for a range of purposes, such as writing (pencil lead), lubricants, and batteries. The material is known for its ability to conduct electricity, its softness, and its resistance to heat, making it invaluable in various industrial applications.

In the early 20th century, researchers began to investigate the behavior and structure of graphite at a molecular level. It was understood that graphite's properties arose from its layered structure, with each layer being held together by weak forces, allowing them to slip over one another. The key to understanding graphene, however, lay in isolating just one of these layers.

The breakthrough came in 2004 when two scientists, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, at the University of Manchester, succeeded in isolating a single layer of graphene from a piece of graphite using a simple yet ingenious method involving adhesive tape. Their method, known as "mechanical exfoliation," involved peeling off thin layers of graphene from a piece of graphite until they had isolated a single layer of carbon atoms. This discovery provided the first direct insight into graphene's unique properties, leading to a surge of research into its potential applications. For their work, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.

What happened next with Graphene Extraction Science 

​

The process of extracting graphene has evolved significantly since its initial discovery. Traditional methods, such as mechanical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and liquid-phase exfoliation, have allowed scientists to isolate graphene, but these approaches come with limitations in scalability, cost, and purity.

​

Traditional Extraction Methods

• Mechanical Exfoliation: The original method, famously using Scotch tape to peel layers of graphene from graphite, is effective but impractical for large-scale production.

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method involves growing graphene on metal surfaces, but it requires expensive equipment and complex transfer processes.

• Liquid-Phase Exfoliation: This technique disperses graphite in solvents and uses sonication to separate graphene layers, but achieving high yields without defects is challenging.

How we do it: Ultrasonic Frequency Extraction

​

We utilize a revolutionary ultrasonic frequency-based system to extract graphene efficiently, cost-effectively, and at scale. By leveraging high-intensity ultrasonic waves, we can break down graphite into single and few-layer graphene sheets without introducing excessive defects or contaminants.

​

How the Ultrasonic System Works:

​

1. Graphite Preparation – High-purity graphite is selected as the raw material to ensure quality output.

2. Ultrasonic Cavitation – Ultrasonic waves create  microscopic bubbles in a liquid medium that collapse with immense energy. This controlled force separates graphene layers from graphite without chemical degradation.

3. Purification & Refinement – The exfoliated graphene is then filtered and processed to remove unwanted residues, ensuring high conductivity, structural integrity, and performance.

4. Application-Specific Customization – We tailor the graphene properties to specific uses, including construction materials, coatings, and energy storage solutions.

​

This ultrasonic frequency extraction method allows for greater scalability, lower production costs, and minimal environmental impact.

By refining this process, we are unlocking graphene’s full potential, providing industries with an advanced material that outperforms traditional alternatives while maintaining sustainability and efficiency.
