Scientific and Practical Centre for Materials Research offers consumers a technology for producing graphene and materials containing it under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and is looking for partners to develop the technology under a research cooperation agreement and/or a technical cooperation agreement.

The technology for producing graphene and related carbon structures is carried out in two stages:

1) synthesis of graphite interstitial compounds in a liquid ammonia medium;
2) decomposition of the resulting compound to remove the interstitial molecules.

Using this principle, the following types of new carbon materials have been produced:
– few-layer graphene (1–3 layers);
– perforated graphene with holes of ~1 nm;
– graphene with grafted aliphatic and aromatic groups;
– carbon materials with a honeycomb structure;
– high-density restructured graphite;
– graphene composites with metals, ceramics, and polymers.

Information on the graphene production principle implemented at the Materials Science Research and Production Center is available in the 2024 Catalogue "Advanced Developments of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus," pp. 54-55.(in Russian)

Technical/competitive advantages. Scientific and technical level.
Advantages:
– High productivity per unit reactor volume;
– No toxic waste requiring disposal;
– Low synthesis cost;
– Potential for industrial scalability;
– High structural perfection of graphene.

Scientific and technical level is comparable to world-class standards.

A laboratory-scale expanded graphite production system with a capacity of 1 kg/hour was developed and manufactured, and the properties of the resulting material were studied.
Synthesis methods were developed, and the properties of composite structures based on conductive nanofibers, nanoplatelets, and nanoframes were studied for use in electronics, photovoltaics, and electrical engineering.

Currently, the Scientific and Practical Center for Materials Research is a leader in solid-state physics and physical materials science in the Republic of Belarus.

The Center's primary research focus is condensed matter physics; the creation of new magnetic, ferroelectric, semiconductor, metallic, superconducting, superhard, and optical materials in the form of crystals, ceramics, disordered systems, nanomaterials, and nanostructures corresponds to the priority areas of fundamental and applied scientific research and scientific and technical activities. The Center's goals and objectives are realized through the full innovation cycle, from fundamental and applied scientific research to the implementation of scientific and technical products in production.
