Hydrograph graphene shows microelectronic cooling

Mr. Ranjith Divigalpitiya reports HYDROGRAPH OXYGENATED GRAPHENE COATING OFFERS A BREAKTHROUGH IN MICROELECTRONICS COOLING A new peer-reviewed study shows that aerogel ink made with Hydrograph Clean Power Inc. graphene can increase the heat transfer co-efficient of copper by 152 per cent. The study's results demonstrate the viability of using graphene for high performance, scalable thermal management coatings in microelectronics. The study, published in Graphene and 2D Materials (Springer), confirmed that Hydrograph's oxygenated graphene ink coatings dramatically enhanced cooling for high-powered microelectronics, such as those used in computers, electric vehicles, data centres, aerospace and other solid-state applications. Using a scalable aerosol process, graphene coatings achieved over 1-1/2 times the heat transfer of bare copper and a 40-per-cent increase in CHF (critical heat flux). The breakthrough not only represents superior heat conductivity but also an engineered surface texture that accelerates cooling due to bubble formation and evaporation. From a commercial standpoint, the lab research illustrates the potential of using graphene aerogel ink as a cost-effective solution for microelectronic heat management. According to Verified Market Reports, the market for thermal management materials in microelectronics was valued at $7.21-billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $12.6-billion by 2033. "The study highlights the potential of graphene in developing new compounds for next-generation electronics cooling," said Ranjith Divigalpitiya, chief science officer for Hydrograph. "This research shows that the surface texture and bubble behaviour of graphene aerosol coatings are more effective at heat dissipation than raw thermal materials. By pushing the boundaries of conventional conductivity cooling, Hydrograph is positioned to deliver new scalable and sustainable heat management solutions that improve the efficiency and extend the useful life of electronic devices." As semiconductors become smaller and more powerful, they generate more heat. Traditionally, circuit architectures have used heat sinks made of copper and aluminum, but as power densities increase, these materials have been supplemented with composites and coatings for improved heat dissipation. Delivering graphene coatings in an aerosol provides a sinter-free, manufacturable solution for cooling electronics, energy systems and other high-power devices. Graphene is atomically thin and demonstrates superior thermal conductivity. In this study, three graphene-based coatings were tested: two aerosol graphene inks synthesized using a one-step, gas-phase detonation procedure and a third coating made using liquid-phase, ultrasonic exfoliation. Each coating was applied to copper substrates in multiple layers, resulting in surfaces with flakes and ridges. The coating demonstrated a 62-per-cent enhancement in bubble growth over bare copper, resulting in improved heat dissipation. About Hydrograph Clean Power Inc.
