Together with our colleagues from the Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics, Łukasiewicz Research Network, and Materia Nova from Belgium, we have published the latest joint research on the technology of passivated Al2O3, hydrogen-intercalated, quasi-free-standing epitaxial graphene produced for the construction of a magnetic field sensor for operation in difficult environmental conditions. The sensor can operate at temperatures ranging from 305 K to 770 K, with extraordinary sensitivity and stability.

Graphene is a promising 2D platform for high-temperature magnetic diagnostics and control systems in such demanding applications as diagnostics of the magnetic field surrounding the plasma generated in future modern TOKAMAK-type fusion reactors.

Our motivation for applying this material was the main topic of the presentation during the 9th Polish Conference “Graphene and other 2D materials”. As part of an invited lecture, we presented the topic:

Exploring the limits of graphene’s operation in extreme conditions imposed by the future energy industry.

We outlined the perspective of future applications of modern 2D carbon materials in electronics capable of meeting the operating conditions of nuclear units. We also talked extensively about the preliminary research we are conducting in this direction together with other research units in Poland and abroad.
