3DC Showcases New 3D Graphene Nanomaterial for Batteries at CES 2026
At CES 2026, Japanese startup 3DC unveiled Graphene MesoSponge (GMS), a 3‑dimensional graphene nanomaterial designed to accelerate fast‑charging and boost power output in batteries. The porous, atom‑thin network creates internal electron pathways that lower resistance and eliminate the need for extra conductive additives. Backed by Hyundai’s Open Innovation fund, 3DC is supplying pilot‑scale samples to global battery makers and aims to shift to full‑scale production later this year. The company also hints at tailoring the material for semiconductor thermal‑management applications.
