3D and 2D Graphene
Grasp graphene's mechanical characteristics and developing innovative graphene devices necessitates a thorough understanding of the material. Graphene is a 3D material and a 2D substance, according to research. 2D graphene is a single, flat sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb shape that exhibits many of the same compression resistance properties as 3D graphite and is much thicker than previously thought. Graphene's thickness is due to a sequence of chemical bonds that extend above and below the two-dimensional plane of the carbon atoms, so graphene is actually a 3D material, albeit at a very small thickness.

Alfa Chemistry is able to offer unique services through graphene film customization and vertical graphene (VG) customization. To submit your customisation request, please contact us through email or fill out the inquiry form.
Graphene Thin Films
Alfa Chemistry chooses plasma processes with the advantages of lower temperatures and faster synthesis to conduct synthetic graphene research. In plasma-assisted synthesis, we can get graphene films with varied topologies depending on the metal catalyst utilized.
Vertical Graphene
Due to its distinctive 3D structure, huge surface area, superior electrical conductivity, and high density of reactive edges, VG has recently gained a lot of attention as a standout material. Alfa Chemistry uses a plasma-assisted technique to make VG. The plasma sheath's strong electric field can cause the nanomaterial to grow vertically perpendicular to the substrate, resulting in 3D nanostructures.
