First Graphene Patents

As of early 2026,
First Graphene Ltd (ASX: FGR) has significantly expanded its intellectual property portfolio, moving from core manufacturing patents to specialized applications in energy storage, hydrogen production, and fire protection.

Key patents and recent filings for First Graphene include:
Recent Strategic Patent Filings (2025-2026)

Hydrogen Electrocatalysts: In January 2025, the company filed a patent for a unique manufacturing process to produce graphene-enhanced metal oxide electrocatalysts. This process uses cost-effective base metals (like cobalt, iron, and nickel) to lower the cost of hydrogen production via water electrolysis.

Fire-Resistant Construction Materials: In late 2025, First Graphene and its partner Vector Group filed patents in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. for a non-halogenated, graphene-enhanced flame-retardant material. Testing showed a 100% self-extinguishing rate in various formulations.

Cement Admixtures: The company has filed patents in the UK to protect its IP for graphene-enhanced cement admixtures, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions in the construction industry.

Granted Patents and Core Intellectual Property

Next-Generation Battery Anodes: First Graphene holds a UK patent (granted in 2022) for a process that coats silicon anode particles with graphene. This technology is designed to improve the electrical conductivity and durability of silicon anodes in EV batteries.

Green Hydrogen Cavitation: Through the acquisition of patents from Kainos Innovation, the company owns a one-step hydrodynamic cavitation process. This technology converts petroleum feedstock directly into battery-grade graphite, graphene, and green hydrogen.

Graphene Oxide Production: The company filed a patent (via its subsidiary 2D Fluidics) for an environmentally friendly thin-film processing method to manufacture graphene oxide without the corrosive reagents used in traditional methods like the Hummers process.

Electrochemical Exfoliation: This is the company's core patented manufacturing process used to produce its PureGRAPH® range of products by dissolving graphite to create high-quality graphene nanoplatelets.
