Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. has added Interconnected Reduced Graphene Oxide (IC-rGO) to its product development pipeline, working with Prof. Aicheng Chen. It was developed by Prof. Aicheng Chen and his team using graphite from Zenyatta’s Albany deposit, IC-rGO is a useful nanomaterial for energy and environmental applications.
Profs. Aicheng Chen, Aziz Houmam, Jacek Lipkowski and Peter Tremaine were awarded an NSERC RTI grant ($149.9k) to upgrade the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at the Electrochemical Technology Centre.
Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. is partnering up with Prof. Aicheng Chen to develop Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) by using Albany Graphite. Moreover, Prof. Aicheng Chen's team successfully produced highly fluorescent CQDs with consistent properties.
