Graphene's centre of gravity shifts to China?
Posted on October 23, 2015 by Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh
Europeans won the Nobel Prize for their work on graphene but they are not necessarily winning on the commercial front. In fact, it is the Chinese who might overtake them. Many indicators support this claim, which we will discuss below.
We are convinced that the importance of this sweeping trend is often ignored in the rest of the world and that is why we have invited Chinese firms such as The Sixth Element and Nanjing CNano Technology to speak at our Graphene & 2D Materials
event which takes place in Santa Clara, California between 18 and 19 November 2015.
Chinese entities are taking the patent landscape by a storm and have now put an unbridgeable distance between themselves and the rest of the world. Chinese entities now feature heavily in the list of top ten patent holders, while there is a notable absence of Western entities. It is of course by no means certain that quantity will translate into quality, but what is certain is that Chinese research is leaving behind no white space in the graphene patent landscape.
Chinese entities are also announcing ambitious production plans. Many such as The Sixth Element (see the Graphene & 2D Materials event) and Morsh have capacities greater than 100 tpa. The utilisation rate is still low and the quality may not be the highest, but in most case will be good enough. It is worthwhile noting that Chinese also had success in the CNT business, therefore there is no reason to doubt that they can replicate it here. To learn more about production volumes of Chinese graphene and CNT suppliers please visit http://www.IDTechEx.com/graphene .
The progress is not limited to platelet type graphene. Several Chinese firms have set up production lines for producing and transferring CVD graphene films. Here too they are announcing aggressing scale, performance and price plans, and are innovating in the way they combine the doping and transfer steps- see www.IDTechEx.com/TCF for a detailed understanding for the transparent conducting film market.
This is not to say that Europeans and others are also not doing great work. In Europe, many companies have innovated and/or scaled. We have picked a few and invited them to speak at the Graphene & 2D Materials event. Haydale will speak on how it is helping solve the dispersion problem using its plasma functionalisation technique; Perpetuus will talk on how it is helping make graphene affordable and tunable to application needs; and Graphenea will talk on how it is making steady commercial progress.
North American companies are also making strong progress. In fact, we have invited two of the early commercial pioneers to speak at the Graphene & 2D Materials event - Vorbeck was one of the first to bring real applications to the market based on its graphene conductive inks, while XG Sciences was one of the first to scale and help make graphene affordable. Garmor Inc., NanoXplore and Graphene Frontiers will all also speak. Garmor Inc. is helping commercialize graphene oxides, NanoXplorewill report on its progress in developing graphene-polymer masterbatches, and Graphene Frontiers will discuss its work on making high-sensitive graphene sensors.
It is testimony to the global nature of the graphene community that we have speakers from all around the world. In fact, Talga Resources - another firm with ambitious scaling and pricing plans - will come from Australia to speak and exhibit at this event.
Japan has been slow to wake up to the graphene craze. This may seem surprising given Japan's strong tradition in material research and manufacture, but this is because many Japanese companies had their fingers burnt after they wholeheartedly embraced CNTs at the peak of their hype. Despite this, good work has been coming from Japan and that is why we have Incubation Alliance as an exhibitor at our Graphene & 2D Materials event.
I invite you to attend our show if you would like to hear about the latest technology and market trends for graphene and other 2D materials. This year we have a fantastic programme that covers all the key current themes in the industry such as aggressive prices, scaling up, progress in energy storage devices, cracking the dispersion challenges, developing novel and niche application as well as the rise of China.

The commercial application of graphene in China is expected to rise after successful breakthroughs made by Chinese research teams, according to a report by Shanghai-based China Business News.
According to sources from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Chinese government is keen on supporting industries that can help discover more ways to utilize graphene.
Some of the plans include the establishment of an industry alliance and an innovation center, as well as the publication of guidelines on the development of such industries.
The government has already approved plans to build an industrial park for graphene and other related carbon material in Qingdao. An investment fund of 100 million yuan has already been establishment to finance future graphene projects.
Known for its exceptional strength, thermal conductivity and electric conductivity, the material called graphene is made up of a single layer of carbon atoms distinctive for its honeycomb-shaped lattice arrangement.
Commonly used in power cells, graphene is thought to be a possible cheaper alternative conductor to silver.
Shenzhen University professor Liu Jianhong and his research team have also developed a way to create graphene that will enhance its ability as an electric conductor.
His team is currently exploring the development of graphene technology, including the computerization of the production process.
Along with a joint venture with companies such as Gem Co., Liu and his team were able to focus on developing commercial uses for graphene, which ties in well with the State Council's "Made in China 2025" initiative, a plan to usher the Chinese manufacturing sector into a new era.

2D Carbon Graphene Research Company Gets Listed on Chinese Stock Exchange
Published on October 9, 2015 at 5:34 AM
A company formed to commercialize graphene research conducted at the University of Houston's Center for Advanced Materials has been listed on the Chinese stock exchange, an important step in the company's capitalization and growth.
2D Carbon was created in 2011 by Peng Peng, a former research scientist at the Center for Advanced Materials. It is listed on China's stock market for high-tech startups.
Based in Changzhou, China, the company focuses on mass-production of large-scale graphene transparent conductive film, as well as research, development and technical support for applied graphene technology. 2D Carbon's technology is based on research with graphene - a thin layer of pure carbon atoms, bonded together in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice - done at UH.
Peng was part of a team led by Stephen Pei, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UH and deputy director of the Center for Advanced Materials, which discovered a way to synthesize graphene film on metal substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), transferring the film to other substrates. That opened the door to commercial uses for CVD graphene film. Qingkai Yu, who remains on the faculty at UH, also was a member of the team.
Peng left UH after completing his Ph.D. and started 2D Carbon, one of seven spin-off companies established from the Center's work. Two are listed on major stock exchanges.
Pei's group published a seminal paper on CVD graphene work in July 2008 in the journal Applied Physics Letters, and Pei noted that Russian-British physicist Konstantin Novoselov recognized UH's contribution to the field in his Nobel lecture after he and Andre Geim shared the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics for their work with graphene.
Peng said his company's work is an outgrowth of the research done in Pei's lab.
"Based on the basic principles we established in Dr. Pei's group, we have continued to develop a new growth system and transfer technique in China, with focus on industrial mass production and application," he said.
A special 2014 edition of the journal Nature Nanotechnology featured articles about graphene capacitive touch panel technology and the world's first commercial graphene touchscreen smartphone, both developed by Peng after he formed 2D Carbon.
CAM focuses on the discovery and development of energy materials, including photovoltaics, fuel cells, supercapacitors; in nanoelectronics materials: graphene and resistive memory; and in materials at the physical-biological interface, with a goal of ultimately working with industry to commercialize the advances as part of the University's technology transfer efforts.

Chinese Giant Huawei Backs 'Wonder Material'
The telecoms equipment giant Huawei will announce the investment during Xi Jinping's state visit to Britain, Sky News learns.
21:34, UK,Sunday 18 October 2015
The deal will deepen scientific links between Britain and China
The Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei will unveil an investment in the 'wonder material' graphene this week in a deal that will deepen scientific collaboration between Britain and China.
Sky News has learnt that Huawei will announce that it is ploughing millions of pounds into a research project being led by The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute.
The project, which will examine prospective applications of graphene to the information and communications technology sectors, will be among a series of partnerships signed during the state visit to Britain of President Xi Jinping, the Chinese President.
Sources said on Sunday that Huawei's alliance with the National Graphene Institute, which is likely to be announced on Friday, would be among the more significant deals struck during Mr Xi's five-day trip.
George Osborne, the Chancellor, has frequently used Autumn Statement and Budget announcements to commit more funding for graphene research.
Insiders said he and other ministers were likely to trumpet this week's investment as a sign of their commitment to creating a "northern powerhouse", which they will hope will alleviate some of the criticism over Government policy towards the struggling steel industry, where thousands of jobs are being shed.
A glut of cheap steel from China is among the factors which have diminished the competitiveness of UK-based steel-makers, and ministers will be expected to demonstrate that they have held meaningful talks with the Chinese delegation in the coming days.
Graphene, which is just a single atom thick, was discovered by two scientists at The University of Manchester in 2004, and has already spawned a number of independent companies focused on exploiting it commercially.
Two hundred times stronger than steel, it is eventually expected to be utilised across a wide range of industries, such as fuel cells, aeroplane wings, water purification technology and - significantly for Huawei - more flexible and durable mobile phones.
This week's collaboration will deepen Huawei's commitment to the UK, just months after it was cleared of posing a risk to national security following an audit of its operations conducted by the professional services firm EY.
Huawei is one of an emerging breed of Chinese companies which have become genuine challengers to established Western rivals, and is now the world's second-largest telecoms equipment-manufacturer.
However, it has been dogged by - consistently denied - allegations that it is a front for China's People's Liberation Army because of its founder Ren Zhengfei's past as an engineer in the country's armed forces.
The company plays an important role in the provision of the UK's critical communications infrastructure, and has partnerships with the likes of Openreach, the national broadband infrastructure network owned by BT Group, and EE, the mobile communications network operator.
Huawei has in recent years seen expansion in Australia, India and the US blocked by governments which have voiced fears that the Chinese company could be aiding cyber-attacks on technological infrastructure elsewhere in the world.
In an attempt to overcome concerns about its governance and operations, Huawei established a separate UK board of heavyweight business people, which is now headed by Lord Browne, the former BP chief executive.
It also operates a cyber-security facility in Oxfordshire which works with GCHQ, the Government intelligence agency, to ensure the integrity of the equipment it sells in Britain.
In a report commissioned by Huawei earlier this year, it said it was on track to exceed a commitment made in 2012 to invest at least £1.3bn in the UK by 2017, and that it now supported 7,400 British jobs.
Unlike most large Chinese enterprises, Huawei is entirely privately owned, with thousands of its employees its only shareholders.
A decade ago, it failed with a bid for Marconi, the struggling British manufacturer, the bulk of which was eventually subsumed into Sweden's Ericsson.
A Huawei spokesman declined to comment on its impending partnership with the National Graphene Institute.

'Super material' graphene begins mass production inChinese mainland
(People's Daily Online) 15:52, September 08, 2016
"Super material" graphene begins mass production in Xiamen, Fujian province, Sept. 6, 2016. (Photo/news.cn)
Graphene, often known as a "super material," ushered in a milestone moment for theChinese mainland when the material began mass production in Xiamen, Fujian province onSept. 6. The production of graphene is expected to reach 5,000 tons by 2020.
Graphene's "super" status comes from its outstanding thermal and electric conductivity, itsability to transmit light, and its thin, light, hard nature.
Hengli Shengtai company, controlled by Dr. Bor Jang, a well-known graphene scientist, wasestablished in Xiamen on April 20. Jang and his team have applied for over 300 graphenepatents in the past decade. Since April, he has earned 25 patents for the Xiamen company,and accelerated graphene mass production by partnering with other enterprises. Jang isalso the CEO and co-founder of Angstron Materials Inc., the world's largest producer ofgraphene materials and a leader in graphene utilization and application.
“The annual capability of this year's graphene production line is 100 tons. We are creatingmore production lines to enable production capability reach to 1,000 tons in 2018, and5,000 tons in 2020,” Jang explained.
Increased graphene production will both lower market costs and promote the growth andimplementation of graphene-enabled and graphene-enhanced applications.

Beijing Company Unveils 'World's First Graphene Battery' That Charges Under 15 Minutes
C. J. | Jul 12, 2016 10:53 PM EDT
Dongxu, a 24-year-old manufacturer listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, made the announcement on July 08, Friday, in Beijing.
According to Tech in Asia, graphene is a new type of carbon that is “200 times stronger and six times lighter than steel.”
Studies show that it can change the technology surrounding batteries today by paving the way for a flexible and super-lightweight power source, making future mobile devices slimmer and lighter.
In addition, graphene can provide more power to drones, electric cars and other devices since it discharges energy faster than existing technology.
Dongxu’s presentation, delivered by its chairman Li Zhaoting, showed that the graphene battery can last up to 3,500 charging cycles.
Tech in Asia, however, noted that realizing the applications of this new technology is still “a long way off.”
Dongxu also did not leave much clues as to its plans of putting its product in the consumer level.
Meanwhile, some prototypes have already demonstrated the use of graphene at the Mobile World Congress last February.
A company called FlexEnable showed off a curved display that wraps around the wrist like a watch.
Another maker, Zap&Go, also showcased a “sandwich of 50 thin aluminium foil layers coated in graphene ink,” according to Digital Trends.
The layers result in a huge surface area that enables it to power up more quickly than other technology.
