Wrinkle-Free Graphene Electrode: New way to the design of high efficiency devices
Current metodologies like graphene/PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) stacked as an electrode can improve the efficiency bring about two associated problems: first, and mainly, the low density (~6%) of nanowires that contact the top electrode, and second, the existence of wrinkles on the graphene transferred to the PEN. These two problems result in a large contact resistance. On the other hand, graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) impoverishes the properties of these devices by lowering the conductance and increasing their variability.

Device to enhance Wireless Power transmission
Device that is placed near the emitting and/or the receiving coil. It rearranges the magnetic energy in space, leading to an increase of the WPT neither modifying the distance between the emitting an receiving coils nor introducing any material between them (i.e. without modifying the effective distance of free space between emitter and receiver). It has been demonstrated effective at frequencies near the two standards that are being implemented for WPT.
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND MAIN ADVANTAGES:
-Simple construction with feasible and cheap commercial materials.
-Does not invade the free space between the emitter and the receiver.
-Suitable for high (>3MHz) and low ( 200KHz) frequencies.
-Improvement increases as the coils are placed further away
-Experimental tests with commercial coils approved for current standards (e.g : Qi) show improvements up to 220%
