Recently, the nanyang technological university in Singapore team developed exclusively for the wearable electronic products using graphene super capacitor. Since it has folding and bending properties of the graphene ultracapacitors besides can be used for pressure sensor and chemical sensors, can adapt to all kinds of small intelligent equipment and anyone with the intelligence of flexible products. This product has been presented at the 252th session of the American chemical society.
At present, the market has developed an ultracapacitor hardness is higher, and has a certain thickness, is not suitable for some smart wear equipment with softness. Degree and the team will have a thin, strength, flexibility and electrical conductivity of graphene as raw materials, production of miniature super capacitor has good elasticity and ductility, and rigid battery more flexible, more than the original is not easy to decay.
Graphene ultracapacitors will than standard capacitor and battery has higher efficiency and life cycle. The research team, said as the initial stage of experiment, super capacitor energy storage is relatively limited, product testing period in the LCD device in operation time about one minute, the next stage research focus will be on how to improve battery energy storage by increasing the surface area. Overseas analysts expect, in the next few years, the global intelligent wearable devices and services market average annual compound growth rate will reach 22.65%, and the elastic graphene as one of the future standard on the super capacitor potential market demand will be greater.
In recent years, the global application field of graphene continue to expand, in composite materials, flexible touch screen, super capacitor and chips have achieved breakthrough, the applications of graphene will enter a large-scale industrialization stage. And as one of graphene powers, super capacitor market is rapidly growing in China. In July this year, our country has launched the world's first graphene lithium-ion battery products, opened the graphene and market space in the field of lithium battery / *. While the graphene and ultracapacitors graphene "cooperation" is also verified on the energy storage application prospect.
In addition, as our country focus on the development of strategic new materials, graphene industry supported by local governments, have set up a joint industrial district. In September this year, sichuan will establish graphene application technology research institute, focus on research and development the large capacity super capacitor. Similarly, China international graphene resources industry union is expected to formally established in September this year.
In the research and development of all kinds of graphene products of countries facilitate and speed up the pace of industrialization, agency is expected, by 2020, graphene market will reach billions of class size, the future development space is huge.
