GMS – Innovative carbon material
Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS)
GMS is a three-dimensional graphene material featuring a sponge-like 3D structure with a shell thickness of a single carbon atom. As it achieves a balance of porosity, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and flexibility, this innovative carbon material may be key to overcoming notorious carbon material limitations resulting from trade-offs between longevity and performance.
The flexibility of GMS is particularly remarkable. GMS elastically deforms like rubber, defying the conventional wisdom of carbon materials as rigid. 3DC is the only entity in the world developing elastic carbon materials.
Overview of GMS features
- Shell thickness of only one carbon atom → A large specific surface area on par with activated carbon
- Contains many internal nanopores → Capable of retaining large volumes of active materials
- Exceptionally small number of edge sites (starting points for chemical reactions) → Incredibly high oxidation resistance and reduced degradation
- Formed from high-quality graphene → High conductivity matching that of carbon black
- Offers sponge-like mechanical flexibility → Elastically deforms like rubber

Our story
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.
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.
