Several companies now produce graphene, but the category is broader than it looks. Some suppliers make graphene powders, some sell graphene oxide, and others provide ready-to-use formulations for coatings, composites, electronics, and research.
Graphene Manufacturing Group said on April 15, 2026, that its graphene aluminium-ion battery has reached 49 Wh/kg in a six-minute charging test, doubling the result it reported in December 2025 as it works toward customer testing and eventual commercial production.
First Graphene said on April 28, 2026 that it agreed to buy the manufacturing, intellectual property and development assets of Ionic Industries and Imagine Intelligent Materials, a move aimed at giving it immediate access to revenue-generating graphene coatings formulations for geotextiles and environmental infrastructure.
A Monash-led team has reported a graphene-based membrane that conducts both protons and electrons, a rare combination that could matter for hydrogen purification and next-generation energy devices.
A Nature study published April 15, 2026 reports roll-to-roll manufacturing of visible metalenses at 300 units per second, with titanium dioxide coating used to boost optical performance and yield.
Wacker Chemical is set to present a new XRF-based method for measuring extractable silicone from release coatings at Tape Week 2026, a process advance aimed at improving quality control and reducing testing complexity for coated paper, film and specialty substrates.
