GigEfx Laboratories is exploring innovative methods to scale up the production of graphene, a material with exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. The company is particularly interested in utilizing flash joule heating, a rapid and energy-efficient process, to achieve this goal. The project aims to investigate the feasibility of producing one ton of graphene using this method. Learners will apply their knowledge of materials science and chemical engineering to analyze the current process, identify potential bottlenecks, and propose optimizations. The project will involve a series of experiments and simulations to test different parameters and conditions that could enhance the efficiency and yield of the flash joule heating process. By the end of the project, the team should have a clear understanding of the scalability of this method and provide recommendations for further development.

The project deliverables include a comprehensive report detailing the findings of the experiments and simulations, along with a set of optimized parameters for the flash joule heating process. Additionally, the team will prepare a presentation summarizing their research and recommendations for scaling up graphene production. The deliverables should also include a proposed roadmap for future research and development efforts.
