Expert: graphene industry development, is being too hasty!

A few days ago, China Association for Science and Technology organization member of Chinese Academy of Sciences cheng, chairman of the international material Korea Avon etc. More than 10 research experts in the northeast province of graphite project. Research, however, the final object seems to be a graphene, because nearly 20 research points almost have make graphene project.

graphene from graphite strip a new material. From & other; Graphite & throughout; To & other; Graphene & throughout; And there, but it can a snapshot of the status quo of graphene is on the rise in China. Under the heat is, the habit of bench graphene experts were held for the guest. High-profile experts, however, have furrowed brow: graphene industry development, is being too hasty!

today, graphene is & other; Star material & throughout; 10 years ago, but not too many people pay attention to it. In 2004, the Russian scientist Andre & middot; Geim and his colleagues Constantine & middot; Carbon was first isolated graphene and graphene good performance amazed the world. The two scientists won the Nobel Prize for physics in 2010. Followed by academia and industry of graphene chase, at home, this phenomenon.

according to the global graphene industry research report ( 2018). According to, up to the end of December 2017, our country is engaged in the research and development, production, sales, promotion of graphene up to more than 4800 the number of related units. Some graphite ore resources relatively abundant area, the development of graphene industry as economic transformation and upgrading of & other; A panacea & throughout; , graphene industrial park.

but easy to be ignored is that whatever the application scenario, the usage of graphene is a drop in the bucket. Such as for material modification, we usually just add percent tenths of graphene. And, in the existing application scenario, graphene is not can not be replaced. Lithium battery cathode materials and floor heating equipment, for example, traditional carbon materials can be instead of graphene, even in the cost, the former is superior processability, environmental protection, etc. Capital under the interests, however, do not hesitate to hype the graphene concept, originally only & other; Condiments & throughout; Graphene touted became & other; Rice & throughout; 。

graphene has unique properties, but not unarmed turn things around. At least from the point of view at this stage, the development of graphene industry remains to be & other; The assassin's mace & throughout; Type of application. In addition, the standardization of graphene, preparation technology, such as development is not mature enough, to avoid scattered, small and weak enterprises sell the graphite resources into & other; Chinese cabbage price & throughout; , waste of resources and destruction of ecological environment.

from the perspective of scientific research innovation, it is a marathon, it takes time and patience. No down-to-earth hard exploration, China graphene industry boom may just bubble.

because of the last month of the domestic and export data capacity has not come out, I can't ensure that all data is absolutely accurate, behind the Numbers added a & other; E” Representative is my inference. For 10 months from now on, China components export 32 gw, wafers export 21 gigawatts (gw), battery, export 3 gw. Combining the data of the known expected demand of global overseas components in 2018 reached 66 gw, but because the first half of the United States last year to 201 for five gw component inventory stockpiled without demand, if taken into account in the line in this part, overseas component aggregate demand for 50 gw, but the more 5 gw is the United States of inventory as a result of 201 policy is not the real demand. After eliminating the part overseas actual demand for 45 gw in 2017; From 45 gw in 2017 to $2018 by 71 gigawatts (gw), growth reached 57 in overseas markets. 77%, exceeded all expectations. Looking ahead to 2019, even by the conservative growth of 30%, and the total demand of overseas is expected to reach 92 gw + level.

as Andre & middot; Geim himself has said, although graphene has been widely used, but the quality is not enough to meet the needs of high-tech application. Graphene need time to find the right application, need time to make it better and cheaper. Wait for graphene, give it enough time, like we used to silicone material.
