Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project GRAPES makes cost-effective and stable photovoltaic panels with graphene and layered materials

The Graphene Flagship continues succeeding in its goal of bringing graphene and layered materials to the European market. Funded by the European Commission, our project develops new technologies to revolutionise industry, from sustainable transportation to efficient communications.

The Graphene Flagship has catalysed research and innovation in the realm of graphene and layered materials since the very beginning. Covering both fundamental and applied science, the consortium nourishes a diverse and multidisciplinary environment with more than 250 organisations all over Europe.

One of the Graphene Flagship’s most fundamental goals is to get new graphene-based products into the hands of consumers.

By the end of Graphene Flagship Core 3 in 2023, our Spearhead Project GrEEnBat plans to enter the four-year automotive development cycle with their battery module.

The Graphene Flagship funds comprehensive roadmapping efforts within our Industrialisation Work Package. Our researchers study the state-of-the-art developments based on graphene technologies, analyse the market, and then provide strategic guidance on commercial uptake and industrial impact.
