Vision
In the quest for a decarbonized society, the evolution of batteries is indispensable. Our NEWLY developed carbon material, Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS), addresses key battery challenges: compact and high efficiency, resistance to degradation for longer life, safety, and reduced environmental impact. GMS paves the way for efficient energy storage. We are committed to contributing to a future society that is both environmentally friendly and enriching for humanity through our development of carbon materials.
About us
3DC is a startup that aims to commercialize GMS, a next-generation carbon material developed by the Nishihara Lab at the Advanced Institute for Materials Research of Tohoku University. “3DC” stands for “three-dimensional carbon materials,” based on GMS as a material expanded three-dimensionally from the two-dimensional carbon material known as graphene. We dedicate each day to diligently advancing the development of GMS applications that improve the performance and durability of energy storage.
