Back in May, Lomiko Metals, Stony Brook University (SBU) and Graphene Labs signed an agreement to investigate graphene based applications - mainly supercapacitors and batteries. Today the companies announced that they have reached a significant milestone by receiving a prototype graphene supercapacitor and a report from Stony Brook University and New York State’s Center for Advanced Sensor Technology (Sensor CAT).

The supercapacitor prototype was made using graphene composite material prepared using a proprietary technology developed at Graphene Labs. The measured specific capacitance of the prototype was found to be around 500 Farad per gram of the material. This value is comparable with the best values reported in the literature for a supercapacitor of this type.

Just a couple of weeks ago we released The Graphene Handbook, and now Lulu.com, our print on demand publisher is offering a 30% discount. You can now get the book for just $104.99! Just use coupon LULUVIP14234 when you check out. This great offer is valid through December 5th, so hurry up ;-)

If you prefer the digital edition (PDF download), it costs $97. We also offer site and enterprise license options.

Reading the Graphene Handbook, you'll learn all about:

• The properties of graphene
• Different production methods
• Possible graphene applications
• The latest graphene research
• The current market for graphene materials and products
• The main graphene challenges
• Other promising 2D materials

The book also provides:

• A history of graphene developments
• A graphene investment guide
• A comprehensive list of graphene companies
• A guide to other carbon allotropes

Haydale announced that it listed its HDPlas range of graphene (and CNT) materials for trade on the INSCX exchange, a global marketplace for nanomaterials and nanocommodities. The company appointed Fullerex as Haydale's agent.

INSCX is used by both researchers and commercial companies to purchase nanomaterials and products.
