Graphene - as the basis of new materials for

electricity generation

In 2010, the Swedish Academy awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to Andrei Geim and Konstantin
Novoselov for the discovery of a two-dimensional form of carbon - graphene.

Despite a fairly short period of research on its properties, graphene has

already played an important role in the promising technological
revolutionary discoveries for mankind.

Due to its structure, graphene (a carbon film one atom thick, the crystal
lattice of which has the shape of a grid of hexagons) has become the
thinnest, electrical and heat-conducting material in the world, which is
also characterized by flexibility and incredible strength. High mechanical
strength is combined with lightness, flexibility, elasticity, electrical
conductivity and biocompatibility.

The use of graphene and nanomaterials based on it allow it to find the

widest application in medicine, aeronautics, telecommunications, etc.,
but we should also dwell on the issue of energy production.

For example, a group of scientists from the University of Arkansas in

independent studies confirmed the discovery already announced earlier
by the Neutrino Energy Group that nanoparticles based on graphene
can become an inexhaustible source of clean energy, and showed that
the wave-like vibrations of the graphene film are this inexhaustible
source.
Scientists observed microscopic processes in a sheet of graphene,
consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms deposited on a copper sheet,
using a microscope.

Analyzing this phenomenon, they made an amazing and very significant

discovery - a wave appeared in graphene, like waves on the surface of
the sea, arising from a combination of small spontaneous movements
and leading to the appearance of larger spontaneous movements. The
thermal displacement (Brownian motion of atoms) of one atom,
combined with the thermal displacements of other atoms, causes the
appearance of surface waves with horizontal polarization, known in
acoustics as Love waves. Due to the specific features of the graphene
crystal lattice, its atoms oscillate in a tandem, which distinguishes such
movements from spontaneous movements of molecules in liquids.

In an interview with Research Frontiers, Professor Tibado (University of

Arkansas) said: “This is the key to using the movement of 2D materials
as a source of inexhaustible energy. Tandem vibrations cause ripples in
the graphene sheet, which allows energy to be extracted from the
surrounding space using the latest nanotechnology. ”

Scientists from Arkansas also plan to conduct experiments using other

two-dimensional and conditionally two-dimensional materials, among
which may be found material that demonstrates greater efficiency in the
production of electrical energy than graphene.

Of greatest interest in this field of research, of course, are the results of

using graphene in multilayer nanomaterial invented by the German-
American company Neutrino Energy Group. The company can
rightfully be called a pioneer in this area, which has begun the first
fundamental research on the properties of graphene in order to use it in
nanomaterials to generate direct current when cosmic particles are
exposed to an invisible radiation spectrum. This material is named after
its inventor and coordinator of the Neutrino Energy project "neutrino - the
Schubart element." It is a 12-layer coating of layers of alloyed carbon
and silicon of various geometry, density and thickness deposited on a
thin metal carrier (foil). The total thickness of such a coating is
nanoscale.

“Neutrino - the element of Schubart” is the basis of Neutrinovoltaic

technology - an innovative method of generating direct current under the
influence of cosmic particles of an invisible radiation spectrum.
When neutrinos pass through the coating layers, they are not “captured”
by the material, but rather transmit vertical impulses to graphene, while
silicon particles move in the horizontal direction. When the layers have
the optimal thickness and geometry, these atomic vibrations create a
resonance that is transferred to the carrier material, and the resulting
energy is removed from the metal carrier in the form of direct current.
The coated side of the metal carrier is the positive pole, and the bare
side is the negative.

Currently, scientists at the Neutrino Energy Group receive a stable

output electric power in the laboratory of 2.5-3.0 watts from the Schubart
neutrino element (an indicator for sheet size A-4). A distinctive feature of
the neutrino current source is the ability to place the Schubart neutrino
elements one above the other in the form of a stack of compressed
paper, connecting them in series. Thus, a very compact source of direct
current is obtained, while the output power of the neutrino sources of
direct current can be changed depending on the number of Schubart
neutrino elements and their surface area.

Thus, according to recent studies, the use of graphene in the energy

industry will lead to a technological revolution in energy production in the
next 10-15 years. The first steps in this direction were confidently and
convincingly taken by the Neutrino Energy Group, announcing to the
world the creation of a unique direct current source capable of finding its
widest application in many sectors of the economy from power
generation to the automotive industry.
