Graphene status in China

Graphene research and development in China:

China has a unique advantage in graphene research, from the production point of view, as the raw material for the production of graphene graphite, in our country abundant reserves and low prices. It is to see the prospects for the application of graphene, many countries have established graphene-related technology research and development centers, trying to use graphene commercialization, and then in the industrial, technological and electronics-related fields to obtain potential application patents.

For example, the European Commission has set up a special research and development program for graphene as a "flagship technology project for the future," allocating 1 billion euros in funding. The British government has also invested in the establishment of the National Graphene Institute, trying to make this material in the next few decades can be from the laboratory into the production line and the market.

Graphene is expected to become a new generation of devices in many applications, in order to explore the broader application areas of graphene, but also need to continue to seek a more excellent graphene preparation process, so that it can be better used.

Graphene use is:

Graphene can be used to make transistors, due to the high stability of the graphene structure, this transistor in close to the scale of a single atom can still work stably.

In contrast, today's silicon-based transistors lose stability at scales of about 10 nanometers; the ultra-fast response of electrons to external fields in graphene allows transistors made from it to reach extremely high operating frequencies.
