Graphene flexible films for Sensing & Printed Electronics

What’s wrong with silicon?

The production of current silicon sensors is still complex and costly, making them unfit for the future consumer IoT.

Silicon-based sensors

Rigid, brittle and opaque

Batch-processed Clean-room operated

High Cost per sensor Not suitable for single-use

Large carbon footprint for silicon refinement & foundry

Silicon-based sensors

Grapheal sensors

Grapheal sensors

Soft, flexible and transparent

Processable in any environment & compatible with roll-to-roll printed electronics at a fraction of the cost of Graphene/silicon devices

Low cost sensor suitable for single use disposable product as well as long use sensors

A fraction of the CO2 footprint of silicon

Your industry could benefit from it

Virtually any industry where field analytics and diagnostics are key, and current IoT solutions are either not suitable or not economically or environmentally viable.

A cutting-edge technology

Graphene on polymer

Monolayer graphene is functionalized to become sensitive to a specific target. Then, when it detects changes in the target, its electric conductivity is modified.

Electrodes

The printed electrodes detect this change of conductivity 
and translate it into an electrical analog current signal.

System-on-Chip (SoC)

The System-on-Chip computes the sensors signals: it makes 
the data digital and store them.

Antenna

The antenna enables wireless communication 
& harvest energy to power the sensors.

A large detection spectrum enabling 
wide multi-probes analytical analyses

Functionalizing graphene with specific receptors allows to target specific biomarkers.

Gases

Ionic strength & pH

Hormones & small molecules

DNA

Proteins & viruses

Bacteria

Grapheal is already working on POC products with industrial partners for each of these use cases. By manufacturing  true monolayer graphene on flexible substrates, Grapheal enables next-generation sustainable and cost-effective sensor platforms especially when coupled with IOTs . Grapheal’s patented technology is expected to reduce sensor production cost  by 10x and carbon footprint by 5x, thanks to unique materials, processes, and integration. Grapheal partners with industry leaders in their respective fields, such as wound care, wearable technology, and industry Sensors, to bring millions of new products to the market over the next years.

In essence, Grapheal produces unique 
embedded, flexible and portable digital sensors
