Following the promulgation of "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Innovation and Development of Graphene Industry", the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has re-initiated a number of initiatives to guide and support the development of graphene industry, including breaking through a number of key technologies for key applications and applications, and actively promoting the demonstration of graphene materials. Strengthen the construction of the graphene standard system and build an industrial innovation platform.

Support policy plus code

At the 2016 China International Graphene Innovation Conference held on September 22nd-26th, Lu Guixin, inspector of the Materials Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will actively guide and support the development of graphene industry with relevant departments, focusing on breaking through a number of key points. And the key technologies of the application, focusing on the standardization and low cost of graphene materials, adopting a one-stop model to link materials production, application development, terminal application, etc., actively promote the demonstration application of graphene materials, and build an application industry chain. Strengthen the construction of graphene standard system and build an industrial innovation platform.

This is a policy to clear and refine the development of the graphene industry. In November 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the “Several Opinions on Accelerating the Innovation and Development of Graphene Industry”, which clarified the development goals, development priorities and roadmap of the graphene industry at the end of 2020.

Lu Guixin pointed out that graphene is of great significance for upgrading and upgrading traditional industries, strengthening innovation drive, promoting stable economic growth, and adjusting structure to increase efficiency. The government attaches great importance to the development, application and innovation of new graphene materials and new technologies. "The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology aims at terminal applications, coordinate the various units of the industrial chain to coordinate research, help build the industrial chain, increase the pace of scientific research and application, and vigorously support the development of graphene through funds and policies."

Lu Guixin emphasized that graphene materials have moved from laboratory research to industrialization. At the critical stage of industrial application, the current graphene industry has shown a good development trend, but there are also imperfect preparation equipment, technical standards and the lag of public construction platforms. The problem, especially the application of graphene in some high-tech fields, is still in the research and development stage, and further policy support is needed to consolidate the foundation of graphene's sustainable development.

Industrialization application breaks

Under the guidance and support of the policy, the industrialization of graphene accelerated. Insiders pointed out that since 2016, the graphene industry has significantly accelerated from the "commercial preparation period" to the "industrial application period", and there are two signs of breaking the meaning.

First, some of the graphene downstream applications began to make a profit. Taking the GEM ( 535.00 , 0.000 , 0.00% ) listed company Dow Technology ( 0.00 , 0.000 , 0.00% ) as a subsidiary of Qingdao Xinxin Technology, the company uses the conductive agent of the new energy vehicle lithium battery cathode material as graphene application. Cut the entrance, along with the development of the downstream industry, successfully achieved profitability in 2015, and it is expected that the scale of revenue will continue to grow significantly this year.

"At present, Qingdao Xinxin Graphene conductive paste production capacity of 5,000 tons / year, has achieved volume supply of BYD ( 0.00 , 0.000 , 0.00% ) and Guoxuan Hi-Tech ( 0.00 , 0.000 , 0.00% ) , and in continuous heavy volume. Wang Kun, general manager of the company, said that the company's products can effectively improve battery capacity and bring benefits to downstream enterprises, thus becoming the first graphene application company in the industry to achieve profitability. "Graphene has been mass-produced and industrialized in some fields. In the future, graphene is expected to broaden its industrial application in the fields of supercapacitors , conductive and thermal conductive coatings, etc. by virtue of better lubrication and thermal conductivity."

Second, the civilian use of graphene accelerates. The new three-board listed company two-dimensional carbon and the sixth element of the brother company Shenzhen Uniwang Technology recently released the world's first graphene smart warm paste, while using graphene smart neck, heating clothing and other products, continue to force smart wearable field . The person in charge of the company expects that the revenue of comprehensive civilian products is expected to exceed 70 million yuan.

Zhang Lei, an analyst at CIC Securities, pointed out that graphene is on the eve of large-scale industrialization and it is expected that by 2025, the market size will exceed 2 billion US dollars. With the support of the government, technological progress and cost reduction, the application of graphene industrialization is expected to enter an accelerated period.
