Bright Day Graphene
Why Graphene?
Graphene is the super-material of the future. With its outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity, it has the potential to revolutionize the material market.
Our goal is to contribute to the market with a material that can be produced in large volumes to a reasonable cost, but with such excellent properties and quality that more solutions can find their way to the market.
The benefits of Graphene are many; it is super strong, flexible, transparent, and has the highest electrical conductivity in a material known today. In a perfect material the resistance is zero. It is also a 2D-material. It has only one layer of molecules. This makes it super thin, which gives you a lot of surface but very little volume. This characteristic is what makes graphene so interesting for applications within energy storage and electronic applications.
There is a lot of research going on in these areas right now, but there are not many solutions on the market. One reason for that is that many of the graphene providers today has a hard time to deliver high quality in large quantities. Want to know more? Take a look at the Graphene Flagship Homepage, they have a lot of interesting information.

Our part in creating a sustainable energy society
Our process of making graphene differs a lot from the rest of the graphene market. Instead of using toxic chemicals or minable resources like graphite, we use Lignin, a sustainable and renewable residual product from the paper industry.
Get a look into how our graphene is made and what it can be used for, in this short film below!
Graphene in
supercapacitors
Traditional supercapacitors have an extremely low energy density compared to batteries, however using graphene as electrodes there are already supercapacitors on the market today that surpasses lead acid batteries as well as NiMH. And though they will not reach the energy capacity of Li-Ion batteries they do come in the vicinity.
Graphene in
batteries
In batteries the most known usage for graphene is as a conductive additive. Grapholium® has been tested as a conductive additive in the battery cathode with good results. It prolongs the lifetime of the cell with at least 280%. Other tests with graphene has shown that it improves the fast charging capacity of the battery and lower the risk of fire in a lithium-ion battery. Our biobased graphene has the properties needed for usage in batteries and can be produced in large volumes, thus being an enabler for graphene batteries to reach the market.
Material support and
heat conductivity
The industry is always looking for ways to make materials smarter and more functional. By adding graphene to different materials one can improve both thermal conductivity and strength without adding any weight. Add to that the possibility to add electrical conductivity to any light weight material and the possibilities are endless.
