Patrik Johansson becomes Graphene Flagship Vice Director

On 1 February 2021, Patrik Johansson took on the position of Vice Director for the Graphene Flagship. Professor in Physics at Chalmers University of Technology and co-director of Alistore-ERI, from French Graphene Flagship partner CNRS, Johansson will replace Vincenzo Palermo who served as Graphene Flagship Vice Director for three years.

Patrik Johansson focuses on battery research, and has worked on Li-S battery development with the Graphene Flagship’s Energy Storage Work Package since the launch of the latest Core project last spring. Beyond this, Johansson studied grafted graphene-based electrodes both computationally and experimentally with partners in Slovenia and Bulgaria, among others. This work has targeted next generation batteries with novel charge carriers, like Ca and Al.

“I look forward to gaining a wider scope in my understanding and use of graphene in my new role with the Graphene Flagship,” Johansson says. “In particular, I hope I can help contribute to the Graphene Flagship’s efforts to raise the maturity level of projects and develop solutions to urgent problems. I’m also excited to help raise awareness about graphene, for everyone – from school children to governments. I am, of course, going to enjoy the new environment. To me, research is very much a social activity.”

Graphene Flagship sails into Horizon Europe

Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship ecosystem.
