GRAPHENE

By Jon Diederich
Graphene Discoveries
• Graphene is a single layer of
Graphite.

• 200 times stronger than steel.

• Thin and very transparent.

• Researchers have discovered


that Graphene is conductive to
electricity.

• With Graphene being


conductive, what could we
change in today’s world?

Graphene applications

• One concept is to create Graphene Windows that can


power a whole building.

• Graphene can enhance materials to make them stronger.

• It can replace Graphite in batteries to make them more


efficient and lighter weight.

• Graphene can be caked onto a window to create a new


energy source for homes, offices, and restaurants.

Graphene Windows

• Ubiquitous Energy has created energy efficient windows


using graphene.

• Using just a 1 foot x 1 foot window coated with graphene


conductors, you can produce 5 watts in a day.

• Imagine a whole skyscraper layered with graphene.


Sleep inside
while feeling like
you’re outside.

Potentially create a completely see


through room by changing the energy
levels of the graphene.

Graphene screens

• Two Chinese companies


produced the first phone with
graphene screens.

• The graphene raises the


screens sensitivity, increases
battery life, and improves heat-
radiating performance.

• The producers say that the


battery life is improved by fifty Google Images
percent.
