Recently, industry research companies announced the seven global trends in graphene in 2017. These seven trends have prospects for future graphene industry standards, industry chain integration, price trends, and research and development trends of graphene in major applications such as energy storage, advanced electronics, and composite materials, as follows:
Trend 1: Graphene prices will continue to fall
Both the graphene film and the graphene microchip will be further reduced in price. In the graphene film, the price of the small-sized graphene film is relatively fast, and the large-sized graphene film is still a scarce product, so the price decline rate is slow. On the other hand, the price of graphene microchips (powder) will continue to fall.
Trend 2: The rise of demand for commercial custom graphene products
The commercial customization needs of graphene products are increasingly evident. Graphene suppliers often work closely with downstream suppliers to develop downstream applications of graphene, and the shipment of customized graphene products and intermediates will grow rapidly.
Trend 3: The professionalization of graphene suppliers has gradually become mainstream
At present, graphene preparation companies are usually small in scale, and the application industries of their products are also diverse. Due to the different requirements of graphene products in different application fields, related graphene production lines, research and development capabilities, etc. should be adjusted according to different applications. Therefore, as graphene producers and downstream application manufacturers become more and more integrated, specialized suppliers focusing on one or several larger graphene applications will be easier to win and become mainstream.
Trend 4: More graphene industry standards will be introduced
In China, the graphene industry has formed a series of local and industry internal standards, but there is no authoritative national standard that everyone recognizes, and even what kind of products are graphene. China's national standard for graphene will be issued in 2017. In addition, the graphene industry standards will be further clarified in North America and Europe, which will undoubtedly play a positive role in the development of the graphene market.
Trend 5: Although graphene batteries are still in the foreseeable future, graphene has made breakthroughs in some other applications in the field of energy storage.
Yan Xingyan believes that the development of graphene batteries in the true sense of the five years is difficult to achieve breakthroughs. The development of graphene batteries with graphene or graphene composites as electrodes is still a long way to go. However, lithium ion batteries using graphene as a heat sink material have achieved certain breakthroughs. In addition, graphene-assisted supercapacitors and solar cell products will soon be available.
Trend 6: Graphene will be further promoted in the application of core electronic components such as CPUs and chips
The use of graphene in electronics is becoming increasingly popular. Among them, graphene conductive inks and graphene-based radio frequency tags (RFID) have emerged in the consumer electronics and other electronics markets. Future technologies based on graphene-based electromagnetic interference shielding/electrostatic protection components will also become increasingly mature. In addition, the application of graphene on the central processing unit and chip is the focus of many computer and electronics giants, and its future research and development process will be further promoted by these giants.
Trend 7: Graphene anticorrosive coatings become stars in graphene composites
Graphene anticorrosive coatings have been shipped in volume. As the price of graphene declines, graphene coatings will penetrate from the current high-end coatings market to the mid-end coatings market, further confirming the leading position of graphene coatings in graphene composites. The use of graphene reinforcing fibers in sporting goods and fast-moving consumer goods is also beginning to emerge. In addition, applications such as graphene building exterior wall materials and graphene automotive structural materials are also actively being developed.
