Graphene, as the thinnest, toughest and best conductive nano material found at present. It is a two-dimensional crystal composed of carbon atoms stripped from graphite material with only one layer of atom thickness. Known as “black gold”, it is “the king of new materials”. Scientists even predicted that graphene “will completely change the 21st century”.
Request a quoteGraphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial with a hexagonal honeycomb lattice composed of carbon atoms. It has excellent optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. It has important application prospects in materials science, micro-nano processing, energy, biomedicine, and drug delivery. It is considered to be a revolutionary material in the future.
Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has been known as the most likely new material to change the world in the 21st century because of its magical properties. Since 2006, graphene has attracted great attention from the market and set off wave after wave of R & D upsurge in the world. Scientific research institutions and enterprises in various countries have successively achieved fruitful results in the field of graphene.
The upstream resource of graphene in China is rich in graphite reserves, which is conducive to the promotion of graphene industrialization in China. The state has established many graphene industrial parks and graphene alliances all over the country. At the same time, various excellent graphene enterprises in China are also emerging. Although it is difficult to make a large-scale breakthrough for high-end products in a short time due to cost and technical problems, some low-end products have been commercially produced in some companies.
With the development of graphene research and technological progress, the downstream application of graphene will be gradually expanded in the future. At present, the downstream application fields of graphene are mainly divided into graphene powder and graphene film. The former is mainly used in graphene supercapacitors, graphene composite, graphene lithium batteries, etc., while the latter is mainly used in the flexible screen, sensors, etc.
The data show that the number of applications for graphene-related patents and intellectual property rights in the world is increasing year by year, and the related technologies are transitioning from the growth stage to the technology maturity stage. The number of graphene patents and related research in China is at the forefront of the world. With the development of graphene research and technological progress, the downstream application of graphene will be gradually expanded in the future.
From the perspective of the market scale, the global annual capacity of graphene has reached 100 tons. The industry expects that the annual capacity of graphene will reach 1000 tons in the next five to ten years. Data statistics show that the global graphene market scale in 2015 was about the US $4.53 million. It is expected that the market scale will reach the US $385 million by 2020 and US $2.103 billion by 2025.
