剑桥纳米系统公司在英国剑桥开放新的生产厂商，旨在成为商业化规模生产和具有竞争力价格的超高品质石墨供应商。石墨烯的导电和热性能比一般的金属材料好，同时又具有结实、弹性和及其轻便等特点。因此它有可能彻底改变汽车到航空航天、能源供应与结构、日常电子设备等行业。
新工厂代表了其在石墨烯科学领域的重要投资，并且将领导石墨烯和其他纳米材料的商业化生产。新工厂也将创造一批高技能工作机会。当前生产的超高品质石墨烯的生产能力是每年5吨，并将在随后的几年逐年增长。该公司已开发出一种创新生产方法，可以一步将废弃的温室气体转化为纯石墨烯。
Cambridge Nanosystems is set to become the leading supplier of ultra-high quality grapheneon a commercial scale and at a competitive price, with the opening of a newproduction facility in Cambridge UK.
•Grapheneconducts electricity and heat better than most other metals, whilst being strong, flexible and extremely lightweight. Thus it has the potential to revolutionise industries from automotive to aerospace, power supply to construction, as well as the design of everyday electronics.
•The new factory represents an important investment in graphene science, and will lead the way in commercial production of graphene and other nanomaterials globally.
•It will create a number of highly skilled jobs for the region, and help cement Cambridge’s reputation as a national and global centre of excellence.
•Current productioncapacity of ultra-high quality grapheneis at five tonnes per year and will continue to increase in subsequent years.
The company has developed an innovative new production method that turnswaste greenhouse gases into pure graphene, in one, very efficient, step.Using a ball of plasma, held in a steady state, they are able to ‘crack’ gases such as methane and carbon dioxide and produce, in a single process, very high quality graphene – with the purity levels needed to truly transform industries.
The major challenge since graphene was first isolated over a decade ago was in scaling up production to an industrial level. Today CambridgeNanosystems have met that challenge by opening anew factory in Cambridge UK that houses their first full-scale production unit capable of producing large quantities of this very valuable material.The company will soon also launch their online store for competitive graphene sales internationally.
