TACC partnered with Ceylon Graphene Technologies (CGT), a company based in Sri Lanka, to build a cutting-edge graphene production facility on TACC’s Indian property. LOLC Advanced Technologies and the Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology have partnered to form CGT.
According to a regulatory filing by HEG, a prominent graphite electrode manufacturer under the LNJ Bhilwara Group, the partnership comes after TACC and CGT signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop graphene technology and investigate its various applications.
By enabling large-scale graphene synthesis, the proposed facility hopes to help supply new and sustainable solutions to international markets. The regulatory filing highlighted the partnership’s strategic significance, even though HEG did not reveal the amount of money invested.
A sheet of carbon atoms organized in a honeycomb pattern, graphene is one atom thick. Graphene is thought to be the strongest, thinnest, and most electrically and thermally conductive substance in the world.
Since graphene has the potential to completely transform entire sectors, academics and corporations worldwide are very interested in all of these features. These include conductivity, electricity, energy generation, batteries, sensors, and more.
Key Comments
“This MoU establishes a strategic collaboration between TACC and CGT to jointly explore the manufacturing of graphene and its derivatives, leveraging Sri Lanka’s premium vein graphite and TACC’s synthetic graphite expertise. Together, the two companies aim to develop high-quality graphene materials and solutions,” the filing stated.
