What is Graphene Nanoplatelets?
Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are short stacks of graphene sheets, about 2-15 nm thick with lateral sizes from sub-micron to over 50 µm. They combine high electrical and thermal conductivity with a platelet shape, and are used as conductive additives in battery electrodes, in polymer composites and in thermal-management materials.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between graphene and graphene nanoplatelets?
Single-layer graphene is one atom thick; nanoplatelets are stacks of several to tens of layers, which are easier to produce and disperse in bulk.
Can I order graphene nanoplatelets in bulk?
Yes. Use the enquiry form on this page or email [email protected] with the quantity and specification you need, and we will send a bulk quote.
Do you ship outside Canada?
Yes. NanoLithium ships from Canada to the USA, Europe, South Korea and customers worldwide. Lead time and freight are confirmed with your quote.
