Graphene Power Generation - A New Era in Fuel-Free Energy

In recent years, Europe has been at the forefront of global efforts to transition to alternative energy sources. However, the measures taken have been excessive and the results have been insignificant. Moreover, last year, Europe saw a 2.9% decline in emissions. However, in 2025, the situation has changed: emissions have started to rise. And this foreshadows serious problems in the energy transition.

In April, the European Union saw a significant increase in solar power generation. However, this has not brought the expected success. The excess energy is overloading the power grids and making renewable energy projects unprofitable, while at the same time overloading the power grids, making it increasingly difficult to build profitable solar power plants.

According to a report by SolarPower Europe, after a period of strong growth, the solar energy sector in the EU is experiencing a significant slowdown. In 2023, the growth was 53%, in 2024 - only 4%, and in the period 2025-2028, the annual growth rate is expected to be at the level of 3-7%.

Renewable energy (RES) operators also face difficulties and financial losses due to the fact that during certain periods they cannot receive energy from their sources, whose output drops to zero. However, a few months later, on the contrary, they cannot cope with an excess of cheap energy, which overloads the system and creates problems for the entire industry. Such fluctuations cannot be controlled.

In the green energy sector, there is a problem associated with instability and the lack of effective technologies for energy storage. This is especially true for the European Union, which is already beginning to doubt its plans for the development of solar energy.

Problems with solar energy and wind generation, whose operation depends on weather conditions, have led to the need to develop fuel-free electricity generation technologies that do not depend on weather conditions. Research work is already underway in Europe to develop and commercialize fuel-free technologies for generating electricity of varying capacities.

One of the most promising areas of strategic development is graphene power generation technology, created using two-dimensional materials one atom thick. Such two-dimensional materials have properties that are fundamentally different from the properties of multilayer materials such as graphene and graphite. Graphene is a material with an incredibly high electric current density, a million times higher than that of copper. It also has record-breaking charge carrier mobility. In graphene, unlike graphite, each carbon atom is connected to three other atoms in a two-dimensional plane, which allows one electron to move freely in the third dimension, providing electron conductivity.

In addition, studying a graphene layer using a high-resolution microscope allows us to observe vibrations in which adjacent areas alternately become concave and convex. The stronger the impact of energy and thermal fields, the more intense the oscillations of graphene atoms, and therefore the frequency and amplitude of the "graphene waves" become higher. As part of experimental work on creating a nanomaterial capable of converting the energy of invisible radiation particles into electric current, scientists from the Neutrino Energy group of companies conducted studies of other materials one atom thick. These studies showed that, unlike graphene, such vibrations do not occur in them. Holger Thorsten Schubart, President of the Neutrino Energy group of companies, expressed the opinion that, according to scientists from his company, the observed effect of the occurrence of electric current is a direct result of the pulsed dynamic behavior of the graphene layer. This effect occurs when electric and magnetic fields interact, which leads to the formation of an electromotive force (EMF). Experiments have shown that the current power generated by one layer of graphene is so small that it has no practical application. To obtain a significant result, it is necessary to increase the layer area to enormous sizes, which is technically impossible.

The solution to the complex technical problem was found as a result of creating a multilayer nanomaterial consisting of alternating layers of graphene and doped silicon. This discovery allowed the Neutrino Energy group to begin industrial implementation of the technology, which promises to become one of the most significant discoveries in the field of energy of the 21st century.

The success of the industrial implementation strategy of this development directly depends on the availability of a high-performance and relatively inexpensive technology for applying single-atom layers of the necessary materials to a metal substrate. When creating pre-industrial samples of fuel-free graphene generators Neutrino Power Cubes with a capacity of 5-6 kW, chemical deposition technologies of materials on foil were used. However, these technologies are not the optimal solution for organizing industrial production of graphene fuel-free generators. Most likely, specialists will choose the plasma spraying technology, which will be used in a high-performance automated complex.

Organizing industrial production in the absence of ready-made technological equipment is no less a difficult task than the invention itself. However, the results of solving the technological problems facing Neutrino Energy give reason to assert that the prospects for graphene power generation in the world are limitless and the first steps towards its implementation have already been taken.
