Graphene and 2D materials research and development
Our Innovation Center
The India Innovation Centre for Graphene (IICG) is an initiative funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Govt. of India, State Govt. of Kerala and Tata Steel Limited, in association with various industries. IICG is implemented jointly by the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET), Digital University Kerala (DUK) and Tata Steel Limited. IICG is envisioned to investigate the science and technology of graphene and other 2D materials. The centre envisages partnering effectively the industrial-academic activitiesin order to promote innovative and adventurous research with an emphasis on applications.
IICG would attract internationally leading research on graphene into India and bridge the gap between scientific development and industrial applications of graphene in our country. The centre also aims to create facilities and sophisticated equipments to promote research in alignment with industry requirements.
Main research verticals
-
Large-scale and large area single/few-layer graphene production in collaboration with graphene industries in India.
-
Nanoscale carbon and other 2D material and its composite technology.
-
Graphene optoelectronic products research and development (graphene intelligent window, graphene touch screen, etc.)
-
Graphene smart integrated devices on flexible/transparent substrates, with the necessary energy storage capability.
-
Graphene energy conversion devices (supercapacitors, fuel cells, and batteries).
-
Advanced lithographic techniques for device fabrication.
