According to Novoselov, the facility was designed with three goals in mind: to expand existing research on graphene, to capitalize on that research by commercializing applications, and to take research on atomic-scale materials beyond just graphene.
From commercializing applications of DNA to developing state-of-the-art security systems to launching popular websites, our faculty, alumni, and even students have a strong track record of turning research breakthroughs and innovative ideas into thriving companies.
Compared with other conventional membrane distillation processes, the CEMD process enabled higher energy efficiency and lower operational cost, and thus greater potential commercializing application.
The problem is, they are difficult to manufacture, and commercializing these applications may require 10 or 15 years.
Robert Carlson, a principal at Biodesic, a bioengineering design firm in Seattle, Washington, doesn't necessarily see scale as a dealbreaker when it comes to commercializing biofuel applications.
And, low-volume, high-value chemical production from biomass offers an opportunity to commercialize biotechnology applications in ready-made markets for existing chemicals, if quality, price and performance are equal to reference petrochemicals.
However, since Pt is a kind of limited resource to induce increase in cost and hider commercialize application, replacement or reduction of Pt has emerged as an important issue for further development of DSSCs.
Some of them are commercialized for different applications and many of them are of only academic interest.
