China has unique advantages in graphene research. From the production point of view, graphite, as a raw material for graphene production, is rich in energy storage and low in price in China. It is precisely because of the application prospect of graphene that many countries have established graphene-related technology research and development centers, trying to commercialize graphene, and then obtain potential application patents in industrial, technical and electronic related fields.
For example, the European Commission regards graphene as a "flagship technology project in the future" and sets up a special R&D plan with a grant of 1 100 million euros. The British government also invested in the establishment of the National Graphene Research Institute, trying to make this material enter the production line and market from the laboratory in the next few decades.
Graphene is expected to become a new generation of devices in many applications. In order to explore the wider application fields of graphene, it is necessary to continue to seek more excellent graphene preparation technology to make it better applied.
Graphene is used for:
Graphene can be used to make transistors. Because of the high stability of graphene structure, this transistor can still work stably on the scale close to a single atom.
In contrast, today's transistors made of silicon will lose stability on the scale of 10 nanometer; The ultra-fast reaction speed of electrons in graphene to the external field makes the transistor made of graphene reach a very high working frequency.
