The word "metamaterial" has been used a lot recently-ceramic metamaterial, aerogel metamaterial and elastomer metamaterial. But there is a metamaterial that drowns them all. Its discoverer won the Nobel Prize, which defines the upper limit of scientific hype and excitement. It may completely change processing, power storage and even space exploration. This is graphene material. So what are the main aspects of the market application of graphene?

Graphene is a special-shaped object (form), in which single-layer carbon atoms are arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the basic structural element of many other carbon allotropes, such as graphite, diamond, carbon, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. Graphene has many unusual properties, it can effectively conduct heat and electricity, and its conductivity is also very high, almost transparent. It not only has incredible physical properties, but also is widely regarded as the strongest material on the basis of weight. For example, using small atoms, graphene can make transistors in processors more tightly packed and make many electronic industries take a big step forward.

In the future graphene era, with the gradual breakthrough of mass production and graphene technology, the pace of industrial application of graphene is accelerating. Based on the existing research results, graphene will be the first to realize commercial application in the following fields in the future:

Application of 0 1 in basic research

Graphene is of special significance to the basic research of physics, which enables some quantum effects that can only be demonstrated in theory to be verified by experiments. In two-dimensional graphene, the mass of electrons seems to be nonexistent. This property makes graphene a rare condensed matter and can be used to study relativistic quantum mechanics. Because massless particles must move at the speed of light, they must be described by relativistic quantum mechanics, which provides a new research direction for theoretical physicists: some experiments that originally needed to be carried out in giant particle accelerators can be carried out in small laboratories with graphene.

Application of O2 sensor

Graphene can be made into chemical sensors, and this process is mainly completed through the surface adsorption performance of graphene. According to the research of some scholars, the sensitivity of graphene chemical detector can be comparable to the limit of single molecule detection. Graphene's unique two-dimensional structure makes it very sensitive to the surrounding environment. Graphene is an ideal material for electrochemical biosensor, and the sensor made of graphene has good sensitivity in detecting dopamine and glucose in medicine.

Application of new energy battery

New energy batteries are also an important field for the first commercialization of graphene. MIT has successfully developed a flexible photovoltaic panel, whose surface is covered with graphene nano-coating, which can greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing transparent deformable solar cells, which may be used in small digital devices such as night vision goggles and cameras. In addition, the successful research and development of graphene super battery has also solved the problems of insufficient battery capacity and long charging time of new energy vehicles, greatly accelerating the development of new energy battery industry. This series of research results paved the way for the application of graphene in the new energy battery industry.

Application of 04 Anticorrosive Coatings in Site

At present, the consumption of anticorrosive coatings in China is nearly 6.5438+0.8 million tons, accounting for more than 40% of the total consumption of anticorrosive coatings in the world. The demand for anticorrosive coatings in China is mainly concentrated in the fields of ships, petrochemicals, bridges, containers and so on. After adding graphene into the coating, graphene can form a stable conductive grid, which effectively improves the utilization rate of zinc powder. At the same time, graphene coating can form a physical barrier layer between the metal surface and the active medium, which plays a good role in protecting the substrate.

In recent years, petrochemical industry, railway transportation, new energy and infrastructure construction have flourished, providing a broad market space for anti-corrosion coatings. Wang E Science and Technology is committed to the large-scale commercial and industrial application of graphene coatings, providing efficient products and all-round solutions to global customers, breaking the situation that China heavily relies on imports for heavy-duty anticorrosive coatings and core raw materials, and providing a solid foundation for coating industry Industry 4.0.

As a pioneer of graphene application, graphene anticorrosive coatings and functional coatings have become one of the key development strategies of Wang E Science and Technology. Wang E Science and Technology Integration Group invested in coating resources, organized top researchers, and took the lead in developing graphene composite ceramic corrosion-resistant resin and coating series products, as well as unique graphene modified zinc powder primer.

Application of 05 in medical and health field

In March this year, a new non-invasive graphene tumor treatment technology jointly developed by Nanjing Medical University and Wang E Science and Technology was published as a cover paper by Advanced Therapeutics, the top biomedical journal in the United States. This new non-invasive, low-side-effect, low-cost treatment strategy may become a great progress in curing cancer and is expected to become one of the mainstream methods of tumor treatment in the future.

Graphene has great medical potential in treating chronic diseases. The far infrared ray released by graphene will cause the vibration of cell atoms and molecules when it acts on human body. * * The vibration effect can transfer the heat energy of far infrared rays to the deeper layer of human skin and act on the vascular microcirculation system, which can accelerate blood circulation, strengthen metabolism among tissues, regulate the body and promote the rehabilitation of chronic diseases. The development of graphene in the medical field is surprising. Using non-drug therapy to treat diseases, on the one hand, reduces injuries, on the other hand, saves costs, not only makes medical technology more mature, improves the efficiency and quality of medical activities, but also complements traditional medical technology and reduces medical costs. Through this treatment, high-quality medical resources can continue to benefit more people.

Graphene technology has brought a major breakthrough in the medical field and contributed extraordinary strength to human health. The more application of Wang E technology in graphene medical field, more scientific and medical experts believe that graphene will play a greater role in the next few decades for more problems that cannot be solved now.

In a word, from the practical application and technical level of graphene technology, many developments of graphene have made decisive progress, among which Wang E technology has developed to the stage of large-scale commercial application in the fields of anti-corrosion coatings and medical care. We believe that with the accelerated application of more and more mature graphene, graphene will redefine the world. Let's look forward to the change of the world.
