Graphene Breakthrough: How One Material is Disrupting Solar & Beyond

First Graphene just landed a major deal that shows graphene tech is finally moving from lab to real products. The company signed a 12-month exclusive licence with Halocell Energy to mass-produce graphene-enhanced carbon paste—and here’s why it matters.

The Numbers That Matter

Halocell’s perovskite solar cells (PSCs) jumped above 30% efficiency after adding First Graphene’s material. For context: traditional silicon solar cells hover around 22-23%. That’s a huge leap in real-world performance.

Production starts within a month at First Graphene’s Henderson facility. Halocell gets 10% royalty on all sales, while First Graphene keeps global exclusivity on the PureGRAPH product line.

Why This Matters Beyond Solar

The graphene paste isn’t just for solar. Applications span:

• Electronics & IoT devices
• Aerospace & satellites
• Energy storage systems
• Any conductive material that needs better performance

This is the third partnership layer between the companies—following a Joint Development Agreement (June 2022) and CRC-P Partners Agreement (August 2023). Translation: they’ve been testing this for years, and now it’s going commercial.

Market Signal

Stock popped 4.48% to AUD 0.0700 on the news. The real play here isn’t just graphene hype—it’s that perovskite solar is finally hitting efficiency milestones that make commercial scaling viable. And graphene is the key ingredient.

When material science meets manufacturing scale, that’s when you see real disruption.
