"21st century's most amazing material." Graphene is only one atom of carbon constituted so thin, but actually electronic, optical and mechanical properties of the highest level. People in the industry agree that graphene diversification prospects, will subvert fields. As 3C electronic products is expected to appear flexible, transparent computer screen, thin and efficient batteries.
Distance closer to commercial application is the use of electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of graphene to produce electrode material. September 2014, Cambridge, UK graphene research and development centers and electronics company Plastic Logic jointly demonstrated a graphene electrode made of a flexible display.
Join graphene electrodes can be made of high-energy batteries, make electric cars farther away and more excellent mechanical stability. Earlier in 2015, US technology companies XG Sciences show a new generation of silicon graphene anode material for lithium ion batteries. The new battery capacity is four times the normal battery, the first cycle performance of up to 85 ~ 90%, and the battery life is 2 times the previous generation battery.
Nokia also put graphene cell research, the patented automatic charging of graphene-based photonic battery, printed on a flexible substrate, and after discharge, can be automatically and immediately charged with wet air. US Graphene 3D Lab proposed the concept of 3D printing graphene battery, according to the appearance and size of the mobile device appearance customized battery. However, graphene battery development is still in the experimental stage, a conservative estimate of at least 2 years will not be mass production market.
University of Minnesota and Hawaii company Adama Materials jointly developed a graphene durable plastic polymer, the researchers say, with traces of graphene in the plastic, the plastic can be enhanced hardness 2.5 times. Currently sporting goods already be seen graphene application materials, such as lightweight but high hardness skis, bicycle tires, helmets and so on.
Graphene can be made into yarn or artificial muscle after combined with battery material into wearable electronics. Recently, an international team of scientists succeeded in transparent, flexible graphene electrodes embedded in the fabric typically used in textile industry, this kind of transparent material is expected to someday be applied to embedded and wearable electronic products.
Recently, the Ministry defined the basic idea of the development of graphene industry. The future, the Ministry will develop graphene industry development action plan, to build industry alliances and build graphene technology innovation platform. Ministry also stressed that China should build graphene industry chain, the activation potential consumer market, while efforts to avoid low-level redundant construction and blind.
Our graphene research and technology developed at the same level. Jiangnan Graphene Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ningbo materials, Qingdao graphene Innovation Center, Beijing University and other research institutions and universities have made some progress in graphene research and development. At the same time, many domestic enterprises have put into the layout or graphene production line, ready to fight a well-prepared "graphene the battle." Kant new, large carbon, China Baoan and other listed companies have begun to layout graphene, and some small and medium enterprises with their own research and development of positive advantages in terms of graphene graphene For the domestic market share of the "cake." Carbon Materials Co., Ltd. Qingdao sea rock lead into the industrial-grade multi-graphene-ton supply sequence, Hui Rui Technology is developing graphene deformed touch screen; Chongqing Greek ink technology to create the 15-inch single-layer graphene film production line is expected to mass production soon.
Our industry has been gaining momentum graphene. Domestic enterprises should increase research and development on the basis of technology transfer through practical and truly make graphene products to achieve commercial production, for consumers subversive "graphene era."
