Smog-eating graphene composite reduces atmospheric pollution
A graphene-titania photocatalyst degrades up to 70% more atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NOx) than standard titania nanoparticles in tests on real pollutants.

There is a growing appetite for spin-offs and SMEs that have grown out of research. Here are four SMEs that are setting the pace in graphene and related materials (GRM) commercialisation in the Graphene Flagship.
The Graphene Flagship’s Validation Service –independent and impartial– has been developed by the National Physical Laboratory (UK), Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), and Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais (France). The aim of the service is to provide confidence in graphene and related materials to enable a quicker transition of graphene products to market.
The Graphene Flagship launched on 1st October 2013. Six years later, researchers from Graphene Flagship partner Université de Strasbourg, France, developed a graphene-enabled pressure sensor inspired by French famous multi-layered pastry - the 'mille-feuille'.
The Graphene Flagship has long been committed to investing in young, talented scientists to assist in the research and development of graphene and related materials. We interviewed early career researchers from the Graphene Flagship's Core partners, Associated Members and Partnering Projects about their time collaborating with the project and their expectations ahead of Graphene Week 2019.
New graphene-based sensors could be used by police to detect opiate abuse by analysing suspects’ urine samples.
Kari Hjelt, Head of Innovation of the Graphene Flagship, explores the graphene's potential to shift entire industries such as aviation, automation and energy generation and storage.
Graphene Flagship partner, Emberion, is launching a new wide spectrum graphene photodetector at Laser World of Photonics on June 24 to 27 Munich, Germany. Showcased in Hall A2 at stand 113/3, the linear array can enable on-site analysis of food and agriculture products using infrared detection — at a lower cost than existing indium gallium arsenide infrared sensors.
Graphene Flagship Associated Member Atomic Mechanics is designing, manufacturing and commercialising a range of sensor devices with applications in robotic surgery equipment.
The Graphene Flagship is looking for new partners to bring specific industrial and technology transfer competences or capabilities that complement the present consortium in its third core project.
Imagine the environmental benefits if we could all simply paint solar cells onto the roof of our houses, or onto any surface for that matter. We could do this using perovskite solar cells, but, due to their instability, they have not yet been widely introduced. Now, researchers from the Graphene Flagship have developed hybrids of graphene and molybdenum disulphide quantum dots to stabilise PSCs.
Tailoring material defects, Graphene Flagship researchers at ICFO created highly sensitive and CMOS-compatible broadband photodetectors.
Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship ecosystem.
