Yesterday, Nasir Macadam, Principal Engineer in our Levidian Applied Technologies team, presented at the 2D Materials in Action: Energy Technologies conference hosted by the Max Planck Society in Dresden, Germany. His session, 'From Methane to Materials - Sustainable Graphene for Nex-Gen Batteries', explored how Levidian's graphene, produced from methane using our patented LOOP process, can help drive safer, higher-performing and more sustainable energy storage solutions. In addition to replacing carbon black in wet slurries and acting as a conductive additive in dry-coated electrodes, one of the most promising application areas for graphene is in encapsulating battery active materials in multiple chemistries on both anode and cathode sides. Key benefits include: 🔋 Greater energy density and faster charge/discharge 🔋 Enhanced lifetime and safety 🔋 Design flexibility supporting hybrid materials and composite architectures 🔋 Stabilisation of high-capacity but unstable next-generation materials With proven success in customer applications and the ability to offer both ready-made and bespoke solutions, Levidian is ideally placed to help unlock improved performance in batteries using graphene. #Graphene #AdvancedMaterials #BatteryTechnology #EnergyStorage #NextGenBatteries

Excited to share our collaborative research article titled “La2MnFeO6-double perovskite decorated 2D Ti3C2-MXene hybrid nanocomposite for superior energy density supercapacitor for efficient LED powering” have been published. In this study, we developed a novel double perovskite-MXene hybrid material that exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance, achieving high energy density and excellent stability, demonstrating its potential to power real devices like LEDs efficiently. This work highlights the synergy between advanced material design and sustainable energy storage for next-generation supercapacitor applications. #Supercapacitor #EnergyStorage #MXene #Perovskite #Nanomaterials #Research #Sustainability #MaterialsScience

AERO MATERIALS, a #GrapheneWeek2025 exhibitor and Graphene Flagship spearhead project spin-off, has created a nanomaterial as light as air and with lofty ambitions to optimise technical motion systems and pneumatic applications. “Our aero materials are so light that you can barely feel them in your hand,” says Rainer Adelung, Professor of Materials Science at Kiel University. “At the same time, they are so functional that they can replace entire systems. For many applications, this is a real game-changer.” The material was developed over a decade at Kiel University in Professor Adelung’s research group. Now, the team is taking the nanostructure from the lab to the market. https://buff.ly/GHr2QHA

Innovation in well-known systems is hard enough. Innovation in systems that even experts don’t fully understand is that much harder. On this project, Innovia Technology went back to fundamentals and used ground-up materials science, chemistry, and condensed matter physics to hypothesise methods for improving the design of poorly understood hydrotreating catalysts.
