However, some insiders admit that while the graphene industry is developing rapidly, a series of problems such as “misleading” propaganda, “Great Leap Forward” development and a large number of backward production capacity need to be solved.

The market size is expected to break 100 billion

In recent years, the transformation and industrialization of graphene research and development has developed rapidly. Up to now, a considerable number of R&D projects have been successfully completed and entered the commercial preparation period. According to public data, the annual global production capacity of graphene has reached 100 tons. The industry expects that the annual production capacity of graphene will reach 1,000 tons in the next 5-10 years. By 2020, the scale of graphene industrialization will make a breakthrough and reach the level of 100 billion. Among them, the new energy market will exceed 53.4 billion yuan, the composite materials market will exceed 37.2 billion yuan, and the electronic information industry market will exceed 26.7 billion yuan.

Liu Zhongfan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that the graphene industry will have a promising future in three areas based on current research and development. The first is a graphene material similar to carbon fiber, which will be widely used in high-end equipment manufacturing such as aerospace; the second is a graphene material similar to plastic, which will be widely used in people's daily life, and may even become in the future. A material similar to plastics; the third is a graphene material similar to silicon, which will be widely used in the field of integrated circuits, and is expected to greatly accelerate the development of the integrated circuit industry, and thus promote the re-industry revolution of the entire information industry.

In addition, from the current research in the field of graphene, graphene and its derivatives are widely used in nano drug transportation systems, biological detection, biological imaging, and cancer treatment. Graphene-based biodevices or biosensors can be used for bacterial analysis, DNA and protein detection.

It is worth noting that although China's graphene industry started relatively late, it has developed rapidly since 2010 and is currently involved in major research fields. The overall approach is close to foreign advanced level, and some areas are leading and have mastered independent intellectual property rights. According to the data, as of the end of 2012, the number of graphene papers in China exceeded that of the United States, ranking first in the world. In 2015, global graphene patent data showed that China ranked first, followed by the United States, South Korea and Japan.

At the same time, China's graphene industrialization process is also accelerating. The graphene industry chain includes upstream raw material graphite, midstream preparation films, powders and slurries, and downstream applications. At present, several companies in China have the annual production capacity of 100 tons of graphene. In terms of application, China's level in the powder field has been close to that of foreign countries. Enterprises in Ningbo, Dongguan, Xiamen and other places have developed applications in the fields of lithium batteries, coatings/inks, and modified plastics.

Industrial development policy environment shaping

China attaches great importance to the development of graphene industry. Under the great attention of the central government, the state has issued a series of policies and measures for the development of graphene industry.

In 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the “12th Five-Year Plan for New Materials”, which for the first time clearly proposed to support the development of new graphene materials; in 2014, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other three ministries jointly issued key materials upgrading and implementation projects. Among them, it is proposed to achieve 20 kinds of key new materials in batch production and application by 2016, and graphene is among them; in 2015, China proposed the 2025 strategy of China Manufacturing, in the technical roadmap of key areas, the graphene industry The medium and long-term development route has also been deployed; in November 2015, “Several Opinions on the Development of Graphene Industry” was officially launched, which became the programmatic document for the development of graphene industry in China in the future. In June 2016, at the 4th New Materials Expo, China Graphene Industry Development Alliance was established. Many scientific research institutions and industrial companies have said that they will unite all circles to jointly promote the rapid development of China's graphene industry.

In addition to national policy support, local governments have also introduced relevant policies to seize the opportunities for the development of graphene industry. At present, a number of localities have promoted the application and demonstration of key technologies for graphene research and development through the establishment of industrial parks, the establishment of major science and technology projects, the establishment of industrial guidance funds, and the introduction of relevant preferential policies. Up to now, Ningbo, Changzhou, Wuxi, Qingdao, Chongqing and other places have set up industrial parks. In addition, in 2014, China's first graphene industry fund was established with a total investment scale of 2 billion yuan. In 2016, the graphene industry angel investment fund prepared by the China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Alliance was formally established. The first phase reached 120 million. yuan.

More importantly, the capital market has also given great enthusiasm to the graphene industry. For example, listed companies such as Gorgeous Family, Del Future, China Baoan, and Zhongtai Chemical have entered the graphene industry in the form of acquisitions or investments in recent years. In the same period, venture capital institutions such as Safford Fund also actively invested in the research and development, testing and industrialization of graphene. According to data from a number of third-party market organizations, there are currently more than 20 venture capital funds dedicated to the graphene industry in China, and more than 100 venture capital activities have been publicized in the past five years.

Li Dan, a researcher at the Raw Materials Research Institute of the Sadi Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, believes that the policy support from the central to the local level and the enthusiasm of the capital market have created a good development environment for the development of graphene industry in China. He believes that in the future, China needs to establish a national-level graphene research and development institution, establish a number of national-level graphene innovation centers, and establish a special plan for the development of graphene industry and a special fund. At the same time, graphite mines should be identified as strategic mineral resources. On this basis, the application links should be opened up to form an upstream and downstream integrated industrial chain, and accelerate the formulation of correct technical routes, material standards, application standards and other application specifications. A high-tech leading enterprise group that integrates strong mining, selection and smelting, and establishes a graphene industrial base to further promote the healthy development of the graphene industry.

Hidden worry still needs to be solved

After years of development, the development of China's graphene industry has begun to take shape. Li Yichun, secretary-general of the China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Strategy Alliance, said that China's graphene production enterprises have grown from more than 300 in 2015 to more than 400 in 2016. In 2016, sales of graphene-related products in China have reached 3 billion. Around the yuan, the development situation is gratifying. However, most people in the industry, including Li Yichun, admit that the development of graphene industry still has a lot of hidden concerns, and it needs to be solved urgently.

Dai Shifeng, director of the China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance Standards Committee, said that the graphene industry has exaggerated publicity and false propaganda in the development, which has hindered the development of the industry.

In this regard, Li Dan also believes that due to various reasons, there are currently four “misleading” propaganda in the graphene industry, which is not only used by some market speculations, but also greatly hinders the healthy development of the entire industry. Li Dan said that these four kinds of "misleading" are mainly: First, relying on the development of graphene to the development of graphite resources, confusing the scarcity of industrial and the scarcity of resources; the second is to microscopically graphene. Exaggeration of performance for macro performance, excessive use of graphene materials; third, the prospect of graphene as a substitute for semiconductors is too optimistic; fourth is to confuse the concept of graphite powder and graphene, so that a large number of fish in the market The so-called graphene enterprise.

Dai Shifeng believes that to solve the current graphene industry problems, it is necessary to improve the core competitiveness of the graphene industry. First, we must create a good industrial development environment through standards; secondly, promote typical applications, and at the same time, increase industrial concentration and promote Industry deep integration.

According to reports, in China, the graphene industry technology innovation strategic alliance plans to conduct global patent analysis and analysis of graphene technology in 2017, and understand the development of patent application protection strategies and technical routes of multinational companies in developed countries such as the United States, Japan and South Korea. The 2017 graphene patent technology analysis report was written. On this basis, the graphene technology patent analysis and early warning work was carried out, which provided guidance for graphene enterprises to formulate research and development strategies and layout patents, thereby enhancing the core competitiveness of the industry.

In addition, the alliance will also focus on "four platforms, one base", that is, to build an industrial development service platform, investment and financing service platform, "One Belt and One Road" international cooperation platform, business cooperation platform and industrial application demonstration base to promote the application of graphene industry. Development, in order to promote the formation of industrial capacity and international competitiveness in the entire graphene field.

Miao Zhimin, deputy director of the raw materials department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the development of the graphene industry will be driven first, and then some new policies, including insurance mechanisms and fiscal and taxation mechanisms, will be formulated. Wait. The second is to focus on promoting system construction, including standards, statistics, innovation, monitoring, and collaborative systems. He revealed that the relevant details and details of these policies and systems are currently under study.
