Spearhead Projects

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project GRAPHIL targets an urgent market and societal need; the removal of toxins and contaminants that are increasingly present in European water sources.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project G+BOARD aims to create the dashboard of the future. Unlike existing vehicle dashboards, many of which use metal, the inclusion of graphene-based materials in the vehicle dashboard can significantly reduce the weight of the vehicle.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project Circuitbreakers will develop a grease-free circuit breaker to save businesses maintenance costs.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project METROGRAPH is developing a wide spectrum optical receiver that uses one single technology, graphene photonics, across both the transmitter and receiver, to reduce the costs of photonics integration.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project GRAPES is set to make cost-effective, stable graphene-enabled perovskite panels. This new technology could bring increased efficiency at a lower cost to solar panel manufacturing.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project AEROGrAFT will produce heatable aero-graphene foams, to reduce the cleaning time of filters in the aerospace industry, saving businesses sums of maintenance costs and downtime.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project GBIRCAM is developing a camera that detects visible light, near-infrared, short-wavelength infrared and long-wavelength infrared in one single superpixel device, which will reduce the costs of broad spectrum imaging.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project AUTOVISION is developing a new high-resolution image sensor for autonomous vehicles, which can detect obstacles and road curvature even in extreme and difficult driving conditions.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project GreenBAT will improve battery technology for electric vehicles, helping the EU achieve its ambitious sustainability goals.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project GICE will design and advance the TRL of graphene-based thermoelectric ice protection systems for the aviation industry to produce safer aircrafts.

Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project SafeGraph is set to formulate a clear authorisation pathway to market, meaning a more predictable and accessible route for the other graphene-related projects.
