Voltavate wins $3.55 million to push battery separator technology into pilot production
Voltavate has secured $3.55 million in grant funding from Australia’s renewable energy agency to advance a battery separator platform from laboratory development into pilot-scale manufacturing, a step that could reduce supply-chain dependence for battery makers if the technology proves out in cell testing.
Scientific Reports study tests self-healing graphene oxide coating for corrosion protection
Scientists have reported a self-healing epoxy-silane graphene oxide coating that maintained strong corrosion resistance in saltwater testing and recovered protective performance after scratches, a result that could matter for industrial assets exposed to harsh environments.
GMG says its graphene aluminum-ion battery has doubled energy density in latest tests
Graphene Manufacturing Group says its aluminum-ion battery now reaches 49 Wh/kg in testing, up from 26 Wh/kg in December, a gain the company says moves the cell closer to commercial validation.
Black Semiconductor wins €211 million to build graphene photonics pilot line in Aachen
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 backs Nano One’s lithium-iron-phosphate scale-up as battery materials race intensifies
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 says graphene-enhanced roof tile trial delivered stronger results in Australia
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.
