Black Semiconductor has secured €211 million in support for its Aachen graphene photonics project, a financing package aimed at building a 300-millimeter pilot line for chip interconnects based on integrated graphene photonics.
Canada has awarded Nano One Materials $4.3 million to scale up its lithium-iron-phosphate production process, a commercialization push for a battery material widely used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
First Graphene said on April 23, 2026, that a world-first trial of graphene-enhanced cement roof tiles produced strong results, giving the company a fresh commercialization marker in construction materials. The test is notable because it moves graphene further from lab-scale demonstrations and toward a product category where durability, cost and repeatability matter more than headline material properties.
Allnex said it will bring a slate of new waterborne, solventborne, powder and radiation-curable coating technologies to ACS 2026, with products aimed at lower VOCs, faster cure and tighter compliance requirements.
Graphene Manufacturing Group said its graphene aluminium-ion battery cells have doubled in energy density to 49 Wh/kg, sharpening a commercialization roadmap that calls for customer testing in 2026 and small-scale production in 2027.
Plaid Technologies has launched a three-month assessment with Graphene Nanoworks to evaluate graphene-based water-shedding coatings, films and membranes for glass and metal applications, with a focus on commercialization pathways and manufacturing fit.
