Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS) is a next-generation carbon material developed at Tohoku University. Thanks to its exceptional durability and finely tunable structure, GMS is poised to dramatically enhance battery performance. 3DC is driving innovation in both the development of GMS as a battery material and in advanced electrode manufacturing technologies. Through these breakthroughs, we aim to transform batteries into a robust energy infrastructure and support the realization of a sustainable society.
Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS) is the world’s first carbon material featuring a three-dimensional structure, developed in 2014 by Professor Hirotomo Nishihara of Tohoku University. Its unique design—comprising graphene walls only one atom thick—endows GMS with a combination of properties such as flexibility, oxidation resistance, electrical conductivity, and precise structural control, making it a true next-generation carbon material. We have recognized GMS’s potential as a superior battery material and are dedicated to advancing technological innovation within the battery industry.
We are looking for talented individuals to join us in expanding the possibilities of carbon materials, driving innovation in the battery industry, and contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.
