Graphene industry in China has developed for more than ten years. During this period, with the joint efforts of government departments, production enterprises, research institutes and related universities, the industrial scale and the number of enterprises have increased by leaps and bounds, and industrial applications have been initially realized in some fields, and the industrialization process ranks among the top in the world.
As a cutting-edge new material, it is not easy to achieve such good results in a short time. At present, China's graphene industry has entered a new stage, and it is still in the initial stage of industrialization breakthrough. It has gradually become a consciousness that it does not have large-scale industrial production capacity, and industrial development is also facing some new challenges.
The New Trend of Graphene Development
From technology-driven to application-driven, industrial development has ushered in a new stage. As a new technology-intensive frontier material, graphene is mainly driven by technology in the initial stage of industrial cultivation, and the top-down industrial chain development model is the main one. Graphene enterprises need to find and develop their own markets, which is not conducive to the rapid and healthy development of the industry.
In recent years, with the maturity of graphene preparation technology and the diversification of industrial applications, the integration of graphene with various fields has been deepening, and it has gradually changed from technology-driven to application-driven. The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 stimulated the new application of graphene in medical and health fields and opened up a new market. In addition, the participation of terminal application companies is also increasing. For example, Huawei and Xiaomi have applied graphene cooling film in new machines.
