Description

Nanoporous Graphene, also known in academic literature as porous graphene or holey graphene, is a specially engineered form of graphene containing intentionally introduced nanometer- to mesoscale-sized pores. These pores give the material a significantly larger surface area and unique electronic and chemical characteristics—while preserving the core advantages of pristine graphene.

This advanced material exhibits ultra-high electrical conductivity, excellent electrochemical performance, and enhanced ion transport, making it highly effective in next-generation technologies. The porous structure enables faster reaction kinetics, greater material accessibility, and improved interaction with molecules and ions, which are essential in fields like energy storage, sensing, and membrane technologies.

At Nanographenex, we supply high-quality nanoporous graphene in various forms and quantities tailored to different application needs—offered at competitive prices for both research and industrial-scale projects.
