    Graphene Testing

    Graphene is a new material in which carbon atoms connected by sp2 hybrids are closely packed into a single-layer two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure. Graphene has excellent optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, and it has important application prospects in materials science, micro-nano processing, energy, biomedicine, and drug delivery. Based on existing research results, the first commercial applications may be in the fields of mobile devices, aerospace, and new energy batteries. The acquisition of high-quality graphene is the material basis for ensuring the characteristics of its devices. As a professional reliability third-party testing organization, T,C&A Lab can provide Graphene Testing service according to ISO, ASTM standards and industry requirements. Welcome to contact our experts for consultation.

    The products we can test include but not limited to:

    • Single-layer graphene: Refers to a kind of two-dimensional carbon material which consists of a layer of carbon atoms packed periodically and closely with the structure of benzene ring.
    • Bilayer or double-layer graphene: Refers to a kind of two-dimensional carbon material composed of two layers of carbon atoms packed periodically and closely with benzene ring structure and stacked in different stacking ways (including AB stacking, AA stacking, etc.).
    • Few-layer: Refers to a two-dimensional carbon material composed of 3-10 layers of carbon atoms packed periodically and closely with benzene ring structure and stacked in different ways (including ABC stacking, ABA stacking, etc.).
    • Multi-layer graphene: Refers to a kind of two-dimensional carbon material composed of carbon atoms with periodic close stacking of benzene ring structure with a thickness of more than 10 layers and less than 10nm, which are stacked in different ways (including ABC stacking, ABA stacking, etc.).

    Graphene testing services include but not limited to:
