First Graphene has announced it has secured grant funding, in conjunction with the University of Manchester (UoM), for the next stage of research into commercializing graphene-enhanced supercapacitor materials. Awarded through Innovate UK’s “Accelerated Knowledge Transfer to Innovate” scheme (AKT2I), the grant will be used to fund a project intended to accelerate development and optimization of a graphene-metal-oxide slurry for manufacturing high energy density supercapacitors.
