The industry expects graphene production to reach kiloton in the next five to ten years. By 2020, the scale of graphene industrialization will reach a breakthrough and reach a level of 100 billion.

Graphene is a new kind of carbon-based new material with good light, electricity, heat and power performance. It has wide application prospects in the fields of electronic information, new materials, new energy and biological medicine. At present, more than 80 countries have been engaged in the research and development of graphene materials, and the study of graphene in the United States, Britain, Korea, Japan and Europe has promoted the study of graphene to a strategic height, which is expected to bring huge market value. , for example, the present study is generally believed that, the use of graphene materials of the battery, has the characteristics of large capacity fast charging, once the successful application of the smart phone will be the use of time and significantly increased range of new energy vehicles, is expected to trigger a new industrial revolution in these two industries.
In recent years, the research and development of graphene has developed rapidly. So far, a significant number of research and development projects have been successfully completed and into the commercial preparation period. For example, in just a few seconds to complete charging graphene mobile phone batteries, graphene integrated circuits, as well as efficient graphene production technology, and other products and technology have come out, and is expected to officially applied in 2020. As a result, the industry is expected, is expected to enter the blowout graphene industry development, and likely to the electronic information, new materials, new energy, automotive, smart phones and other industry produce disruptive role.
According to the public data, the annual output of graphene in the world can reach 100 tons, and the industry expects that the production of graphene will reach a thousand tons in the next five to ten years. By 2020, the scale of graphene industrialization will reach a breakthrough and reach a level of 100 billion. Among them, the new energy market will exceed 53.4 billion yuan, the market size of the composite material will exceed 372 billion yuan, and the market size of the electronic information industry will exceed 26.7 billion yuan.
At present, the industry has high hopes for the application of graphene in the new energy car battery field. A study by rensselaer polytechnic institute in New York state found that batteries made with graphene charge about 10 times as fast as lithium-ion batteries. Other experiments in Spain and South Korea showed that when graphene was added, the range of new energy vehicles could reach 1,000 kilometers, while charging time would only take a few minutes. The industry considers that although the new energy car battery with graphene as the raw material has not been applied on a large scale, it has become an important direction of industrial development. Once this sector is broken, the bottlenecks in the new energy car industry will be broken, and the new energy car industry is expected to rise rapidly, and new energy vehicles will soon become available.
Liu zhongfan, an academician of the Chinese academy of sciences, believes that in the current development of graphene, the future graphene industry will have a significant role in three areas. The first is graphene materials similar to carbon fiber, which will be widely used in high-end equipment manufacturing such as aerospace. The second type of graphene material, similar to plastic, will be widely used in People's Daily life, and may even become as common as plastic in the future. The third is similar to silicon material graphene, will be widely used in integrated circuit, is expected to greatly accelerate the development of IC industry, promote the information industry of the industrial revolution again.
In addition, from the present study of graphene, graphene and its derivatives have wide application in nano-drug transport system, biological detection, biological imaging and tumor treatment. Graphene-based biological devices or biosensors can be used for bacterial analysis, DNA and protein detection. The graphene nanopore devices developed at the university of Pennsylvania can quickly complete DNA sequencing. The graphene quantum dots are used in biological imaging, which are more stable than fluorescence, less photobleaching and less prone to light failure. The application of graphene in biomedical field is in its infancy, but it is one of the most promising application fields.
It is important to note that although graphene industry in China started relatively late, but rapid development after 2010, at present there are, in the main research fields are close to the foreign advanced level, some areas leading and mastering the independent intellectual property rights. As of 2012, the number of graphene papers in China surpassed that of the United States, ranking first in the world. In 2015, global graphene patent data showed that China was still the top priority, followed by the us, South Korea and Japan.
The research report on the forecast of supply and demand of China's high-quality graphene industry in 2017-2022 indicates that the industrialization of graphene in China is also accelerating. The graphene industry chain includes the upstream raw materials graphite, the middle reaches of the preparation of the film, powder and paste, and the downstream application market. At present, several enterprises in China have the capacity to produce 100 tons of graphene per year. In the application aspect, our country in the powder field level has been close to the foreign countries. Ningbo, dongguan, xiamen and other enterprises have developed application products in lithium battery, coating/ink, modified plastics and other fields.
