 July 2014   The Graphene Council NewsThis latest publication of the Graphene Council Newsletter marks our second edition—an anniversary of sorts. This year also marks the tenth anniversary of the publication in the journal Science of Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov describing their successful extraction of single-atom-thick crystallites from bulk graphite. We hope you enjoy being a part of The Graphene Council community as we continue to bring you original interviews and analysis from the global graphene community. More from the Editor . . .  Graphene Toxicity
In an original interview on nanomaterials and toxicity, we have a Q&A with Dr. Andrew Maynard, the National Science Foundation’s International Chair of Environmental Health Sciences and the Director for the University of Michigan’s Risk Science Center.

Improved Manufacturing Techniques Become a Research PriorityAfter a decade of characterizing graphene's properties, attention is turning towards manufacturing it cheaply and effectively One of the hurdles facing nanomaterials to achieve their promised impact is manufacturing them at a cost that would make them competitive with the materials they are intended to replace. The March of 2-D Materials Across the Flatlands
Read More . . .  Researchers Reaping Benefits From Graphene's Optical PropertiesThe optical properties of graphene come to it naturally and researchers don't need a band gap to exploit them. Early research focus with graphene was aimed at applying it to electronics. However, many experts believe that the real opportunity for graphene may be in the area of photonics and optoelectronics.

Graphene Tackles the Supercapacitor With Mixed ResultsGraphene's contribution to the advancement of supercapacitors may not be what people expected, but it still may be pretty significant. Not too long after research labs around the world first started experimenting with graphene, one of the early ideas for an application was to see if it could replace the activated carbon used in the electrodes of supercapacitors.  Graphene Poised to Transform Li-ion Batteries Meeting a need of high capacity and ease of manufacturing, decorated graphene may hold the key to the next generation of Li-ion batteries For generations the lithium ion (Li-ion) battery anode was pretty much ignored as far as technological development. Its material makeup stayed the same during all that time, and graphite was the electrode material that was used. Read more . . .  Filling a critical void in the value-chain for Graphene commercialisationProducers and end-users alike require several key components in the value chain to be met before successful and sustainable trade in a material can occur.
