Abstract
Sixonia Tech is a technology-driven startup company based in Dresden, Germany. Our core technology is the production and functionalization of large-flake, few-layer graphenes and its processing into various formulations.
By providing good scalability and yield, low production costs and a good processability, our mission is to unleash the currently limited potential of graphene in various fields. Our E-Graphene can be functionalized to meet various processing requirements and thus be tailored for perfect interaction with your desired matrix system. Compared to other “graphene” products, E-Graphenes show a superior combination of tailorable properties within a single material, such as large flake-size in the µm-range, low thickness in the range of 1-10 layers and good processability. As an example, E-Graphenes can be functionalized to be dispersible in water without the need for surfactants, while still maintaining an intrinsic conductivity that is two orders of magnitude higher than that of commonly used reduced graphene oxide (rGO) materials.
The scalable and eco-friendly process technology opens up new possibilities and prospects for the applications of graphene, in the field of inks, composites, sensors, energy storage and energy conversion.
