Graphene has spent over a decade attracting bold claims - "wonder material" headlines, ambitious production announcements, and startups promising imminent breakthroughs that don't always pan out. The Graphene Handbook by Graphene-Info is built to help readers understand which of those claims reflect genuine, scalable progress and which don't.
The handbook does this by grounding its coverage in specifics rather than promises: production methods are compared on real tradeoffs (cost, scalability, material quality), the application landscape is organized by where products are actually shipping today (composites, coatings, energy storage, printed electronics, thermal management, sensors) rather than where they might eventually happen, and the company directory and investment guide chapter map who is actually producing, deploying, and funding at what scale.
That grounding matters most for readers who have to commit resources based on their read of the market - a business developer choosing a supplier, an investor weighing a term sheet, or an engineer picking a production route for a new design.
Written by Graphene-Info's Ron Mertens and Roni Peleg, the handbook also covers graphene's fundamental properties, a history of the field's development, an introduction to metrology and standardization, and an overview of other carbon allotropes.
The 2026 edition is available as a digital download ($97), a printed copy ($159.99), or an enterprise license ($600) from The Graphene Handbook page.
