Carbon-Based Thin Film Manufacturing Via Natural Gas Plasma And Cold Spray

Brief Description

A clean, efficient process to produce high-quality graphene thin films from natural gas for advanced electronics and energy applications.

Full Description

This innovative technology converts natural gas into tiny, high-quality carbon flakes using hot plasma, then applies them directly onto surfaces via a cold spray method to form graphene-based thin films. This streamlined process reduces harmful emissions, lowers production costs, and produces valuable battery materials along with clean hydrogen, enabling greener and more affordable manufacturing of flexible electronics, optoelectronic components, and energy storage devices.
