Shinegoal Materials is the world’s first company to bring grapheme-copper (Gr/Cu) to large-scale commercial production—breaking through a performance ceiling that has held back industrial innovation for over a century.

Why This Matters?

The International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS) defines 100 percent conductivity as the benchmark for pure copper. While copper has remained the industrial workhorse for electrical applications, its conductivity has hovered around this benchmark with little room for improvement. Silver performs better electrically, but its cost and scarcity limit large-scale use.

Gr/Cu changes that.

With 105 percent IACS conductivity, it outperforms traditional copper while remaining far more cost-effective than silver. Its thermal conductivity of 480 W/mK improves heat dissipation, making it ideal for power electronics, 5G infrastructure and EV batteries. In high-frequency environments—where signal integrity is critical—Gr/Cu’s AC resistance is 60 percent lower than oxygen-free copper, reducing energy loss and boosting efficiency.

Available in three optimized forms—wire, foil and powder—Gr/Cu is engineered to meet specific needs across advanced industrial sectors. Shinegoal has made next-generation performance a practical reality by overcoming the long-standing barrier of scalable production.

“What we have created here is a material that challenges the limits of traditional conductivity and heat management. Graphene-copper can unlock new possibilities for industries that demand higher efficiency, durability and performance,” says Dr. Qiong Wu, CEO.

High Performance without The Trade-Offs

Graphene’s ability to enhance conductivity and thermal performance is well known, but its industrial use has long been limited by manufacturing challenges. Traditional methods like Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) operate at temperatures above 1000°C and use methane—an explosive gas—as a carbon source. These methods are energy-intensive, hazardous and unsuitable for scaling.
Shinegoal has overcome these barriers. Its proprietary process synthesizes graphene at temperatures below 600°C, using solid-state carbon precursors instead of volatile gases. This safer and more efficient method produces uniform, defect-free graphene while supporting consistent output at scale.

The company has strengthened this breakthrough with key material innovations. Flattened to optimize carbon nucleation, polycrystalline copper foil is used to ensure stable graphene formation. A refined growth mechanism adds to uniform dispersion and maintains structural integrity. Low-temperature carbon dissolution further reduces energy consumption and accelerates throughput—all key enablers for commercial-scale production.

“Rather than treating graphene as an external coating, we embed it directly into copper, reinforcing its core properties. This eliminates degradation over time and enhances conductivity and heat dissipation,” says Dr. Yufei Ma, COO.

With these advancements, Shinegoal’s Gr/Cu can be tailored for specialized industrial use. The wire form reduces resistance and improves current flow, enhancing wireless charging, high-speed data transmission and precision motor performance. The foil variant boosts energy density in EV batteries and advanced power storage systems, enabling longer driving ranges without increasing battery size. The powder form offers design flexibility, making it ideal for integrating into high-performance components across electronics, thermal systems and industrial machinery.

Scaling Up Industrial Production and Innovation

To support widespread adoption, Shinegoal is ramping up two dedicated production lines—one focused on graphene-copper wire, capable of producing 10 tons per year and another dedicated to graphene-copper powder.



A powerhouse R&D team is driving this innovation—10 engineers, including three Ph.Ds.—working within a 600-square-meter facility dedicated to continuous material optimization. Every step is focused on ensuring seamless integration into existing industrial workflows.

The real breakthrough isn’t just pushing boundaries—it’s about transforming cutting-edge science into practical, scalable and indispensable technology. Shinegoal is not merely refining a material but engineering the next era of conductivity, efficiency and design flexibility.
