Creating a better world through the synergy of chemistry and physics

Vision

Realizing energy infrastructure transformation through material and electrode innovation, making batteries a shared asset for and the planet

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.

Our Innovation

Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS)

GMS is a three-dimensional graphene material featuring a sponge-like 3D structure with a shell thickness of a single carbon atom. As it achieves a balance of porosity, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and flexibility, this innovative carbon material may be key to overcoming notorious carbon material limitations resulting from trade-offs between longevity and performance.

The flexibility of GMS is particularly remarkable. GMS elastically deforms like rubber, defying the conventional wisdom of carbon materials as rigid. 3DC is the only entity in the world developing elastic carbon materials.
