The Mission of the
Cambridge Graphene Centre is to investigate the science and technology of
graphene, carbon allotropes, layered crystals and hybrid
nanomaterials. This engineering innovation centre allows our partners to
meet, and effectively establish joint industrial-academic activities to
promote innovative and adventurous research with an emphasis on applications.
The facilities and
equipment have been selected to promote alignment with industry, by filling
two main vacuums. The first is the lack of intermediate scale printing and
processing systems where the industrial upscale and optimization of inks
based on graphene, related carbon nanomaterials, and novel two dimensional
crystals can be tested and optimized. The second vacuum stems from the
challenge posed by the unique properties of graphene: the centre facilities
aim to fully cover those properties necessary to achieve the goal of
"graphene-augmented" smart integrated devices on
flexible/transparent substrates, with the necessary energy storage capability
to work autonomously and wireless connected.
The strategic focus
are activities built around the central challenge of flexible and energy
efficient (opto)electronics, for which graphene and related materials are a
unique enabling platform. This will be achieved through four main themes. T1:
growth, transfer and printing; T2: energy; T3: connectivity; T4: detectors.
The core funding to
establish the Centre comes from two programme grants and one equipment grant
under the "EPSRC Graphene Engineering" call, from the Graphene
Flagship, and the ERC Synergy Grant Hetero2D. Within the ERC framework, the
Cambridge Graphene Centre is part of a Synergy group with the Graphene
National Institute in Manchester, and the University of Lancaster, targeting
heterostructures and superstructures based on two-dimensional atomic crystals
and their hybrids with metallic and semiconducting quantum dots. This new
concept of "materials on demand" will enable a large number of
different artificial three-dimensional materials, with tailored properties,
to be used in new multifunctional devices.
