Poukisa grafèn te vin tounen yon tronpe nan Lachin?
Sepandan, byenke kandida aplikasyon grafèn yo ap vin pi plis ak plis pwomèt, yon lòt deklarasyon konplètman diferan tou kategorik: Graphene se yon tronpe nan Lachin.
In March 2015, the Chongqing Institute of Green and Intelligent Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced the launch of a graphene mobile phone called "GALAX SETTLER ". According to the publicity at the time, its light transmittance was as high as 97 percent , the charging rate of the mobile phone was increased by 40 percent , and the battery life Extending by 50 percent , the energy density of the battery also increases by 10 percent . Because it is tied to graphene, although this phone is only equivalent to a thousand-yuan configuration, the price can be as high as 2,499 yuan.

But people can buy a variety of other graphene products. For example, Shengquan Group, a listed company on the New OTC Market, has launched graphene socks and underwear on the market. According to the company's publicity, they added biomass graphene "inner warming" fiber to the product, which is a brand-new intelligent multifunctional composite fiber that "has the ability to activate immune cells, protect against ultraviolet rays, improve microcirculation, antibacterial and antibacterial , Heat-increasing and sun-increasing properties, and it can also deodorize."
According to the company's publicity, they carbonized plant stalks to extract graphene, using the superconductivity of graphene as a raw material for the production of clothes. They also plan to launch a smart bra that measures subtle changes in women's chest temperature through a built-in sensor to effectively prevent tumors and breast cancer. They also plan to apply them to military uniforms. At present, these so-called graphene products are expensive, the price of a pair of socks. For more than 50 yuan, the price of a pair of underwear is close to 300 yuan, the price of a graphene belt is close to 600 yuan, and the heat-generating clothing is sold for more than 1700 yuan.
"In the past few years, when nanomaterials were hyped, there was a lot of hype about the concept of'nano plus ' in China. This time, the concept of'graphene' is the same. Many graphene products are a scam." National 863 project leader, materials scientist, Said Qi Lu, a professor at the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Peking University. Due to its contribution to new materials and energy, Qilu is also known as the main founder of my country's lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganate battery cathode materials.
According to the reporter's understanding, graphene is currently divided into two types: monoatomic thin film graphene and graphene powder. The preparation of the former mainly uses carbon-containing gases such as methane and acetylene as raw materials and is synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, which has nothing to do with graphite or straw.
Se poud grafèn yo jwenn nan grafit natirèl, soksid pa asid konsantre ak ajan oksidan fò, ak Lè sa a, redwi pa tretman chalè ekspansyon. Kòm pou grafèn ekstrè soti nan pay, yo di ke 15 chat nan mayi ka ekstrè yon sèl chat nan grafèn. Anpil moun nan endistri a sanble yo pa tande.
Apart from the obvious scam graphene panties, the "graphene batteries" and "graphene lithium batteries" that many research institutes and companies are keen to develop are also accused of lying.
At present, the practice of graphene application in the battery field is generally to add graphene materials to the positive and negative electrodes of lithium batteries. "This approach is obviously misleading." Recently, Tsinghua Energy Internet researcher Liu Guanwei questioned the "graphene battery" article on the Internet.
In this article titled "The Legendary "Graphene Battery" technology, is it a big lie? "In the article, Liu Guanwei gave a clear view from the beginning:
The technology of "graphene battery" is close to non-existent. Graphene can only increase the charge and discharge rate in theory, but it does not help to increase the capacity (energy). People who are going to be disappointed), the meaning of the gimmick is far greater than the practical value.
According to Liu Guanwei, according to the classic electrochemical nomenclature, the lithium-ion batteries used in general smartphones should be named "lithium cobalt oxide-graphite batteries." It is called a "lithium ion battery" because lithium ion plays a major role in it. "Strictly speaking, graphene only plays an auxiliary role in the battery, so a battery using graphene cannot be directly called a'graphene battery'."
In Liu Guanwei's view, only graphene is used as a "conductive additive" in lithium batteries that has basically entered the market now. But even the application of "additives" has been questioned.
Graphene can be used as a conductive agent to promote the fast charging and discharging of lithium batteries. In theory, it can improve the rate performance. However, if the dispersion process is not in place and the mixing is uneven, everything is a castle in the sky. In addition, there are many high-quality and inexpensive materials. The expensive graphene must be used. "
The reporter noticed that Liu Guanwei's views were recognized by many senior experts in the industry, including Zhang Yuanbo, Qilu, Professor Lu Hongbin of the Department of Polymer Science of Fudan University, and Professor Yuan Guohui of the Department of Applied Chemistry of the School of Chemical Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology.
"Who can come up with the data up to now? Has anyone made such a battery?" Qilu also believes that "the positive and negative electrodes of lithium batteries are both layered structures, so under certain external conditions, It forms a migration from the positive electrode to the negative electrode. Graphene is a single-layered carbon atom ring structure, which is determined by its own chemical and physical properties and will not form a separate negative electrode material for lithium batteries."

Regarding the doubts of industry experts, as the secretary-general of the "China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance", Li Yichun said: "Although the industry is controversial, scientific and technological innovation, anything can happen. Some experts believe that it is impossible. It's all achieved, and some experts are too arbitrary, but we must have an open mind."
Up to now, it is impossible to know the true face of Qingdao's newly developed "world-leading graphene lithium battery". Huawei's response is "there is research on graphene, but it will not be commercialized so quickly." As the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences The leader of the "Graphene Super Electric Vehicle Battery" team, Huang Fuqiang's defense is that "everyone will draw different conclusions from different angles, but the essence is the same."
In fact, even Andre Gaim, who won the Nobel Prize in 2010 for his discovery of graphene, can't understand the current frenzied graphene in China. At the end of October 2015, when Gaim attended a graphene product exhibition held in Qingdao, he disregarded the host's face and made it clear that "many application products including graphene batteries may be suspected of hype at present."
On the day Gaim attended the meeting, the "2015 Global Graphene Industry Research Report" first published by the China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance was also released, which showed that China not only ranked first in the world in the number of papers published on graphene at the end of 2012 , And the number of patents has risen rapidly in the past three years.
Sepandan, Gaim te fè remake tou nan yon entèvyou ak medya Chinwa yo ke mwatye nan rechèch la sou anpil papye grafèn pibliye yo pral jete. Nan lòt men an, anpil patant, espesyalman sa yo ki te pwodwi pa inivèsite, 90 pousan nan yo ki pa gen okenn valè, 99 pousan nan patant pral evantyèlman vin envalid, ak antretyen nan patant sa yo ap koute tou yon anpil lajan, ak anpil moun ap gaspiye yo. ap viv pou sa.
"Although China ranks first in the world in terms of the number of graphene papers published, many scientific research institutes do not know what the industry wants, and the problem of disconnection between scientific research and application is prominent." Kang Feiyu, Dean of Tsinghua University Shenzhen Graduate School and carbon material expert Publicly stated.
These doubts do not stop the pace of Chinese graphene practitioners. On January 16, Changzhou West Taihu Science and Technology Industrial Park held a signing ceremony for graphene projects, and 21 graphene projects collectively settled in Changzhou. Liu Zhifeng, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Changzhou West Taihu Science and Technology Industrial Park, said that Changzhou's graphene industry is moving towards the goal of "creating a tens of billions of specialty industries."
There are many graphene industrial parks like Changzhou in China. According to the reporter's understanding, large-scale graphene industrial parks have been formed in Chongqing, Wuxi, Qingdao, Tangshan and other places. And more graphene industrial parks are expected to blossom in 2016.
In Changzhou, an insider of 2D Carbon Technology Co., Ltd. told reporters that they were established in Changzhou in 2011 and have grown to a scale of 200 people. In 2012, they produced the world's first capacitive graphene touch screen. In the past two years, they have also used the high heat radiation efficiency of graphene films to develop some heatable clothing.

"In the domestic application of graphene, there are actually not many companies that actually do graphene. Many of them are companies that used to do carbon materials such as graphite, or even completely unrelated companies that use the banner of graphene, or speculate in stocks, or fight for it. National Funds, there are almost no companies that really make graphene and can really make money." said Zhu Hongwei, a professor at the Micro-Nano Mechanics Center of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University.
In Liu Guanwei's view, not only are many domestic graphene scams, but also a lot of hype about foreign projects. In his article questioning graphene batteries, Liu Guanwei stated that "the Spanish Graphenano company with graphene batteries" could not find any valid information whether it was the three German auto companies that claimed to cooperate or on the website of the Patent Office.
So, why is the highly anticipated "king of new materials" in such an awkward controversy?
According to the reporter's understanding, there are three reasons: On the one hand, no matter whether domestic or foreign, there is no technically found industrial synthesis method to obtain large-area single crystal graphene. On the other hand, the downstream industry chain of graphene has not yet formed in the market. The biggest demand for graphene is only the major scientific research institutes and laboratories, and no large amount of graphene has been put into industrial operation.
As early as 2010, researchers from Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea and Samsung Corporation produced a transparent and flexible display screen composed of multilayer graphene and a polyester sheet substrate. At that time, Hong Bingxi, a professor at Sungkyunkwan University and the corresponding author of the paper, proposed that their method could be used to manufacture graphene-based solar cells, touch sensors, and flat-panel displays. But he also admitted at the time that it was too early for large-scale manufacturing and commercialization-five years later, Hong Bingxi's method still remained in the laboratories of Samsung and Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea.
The last aspect is the cost of graphene preparation. Due to the inability to mass produce, the cost of graphene preparation has remained high, and the high cost has also hindered the pace of industrialization in the downstream market. Previously, the price of graphene was as high as 5,000 yuan/gram, which was several times more expensive than gold. "The bottle of something that is not surprising is more expensive than gold. A few grams of graphene powder is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. When we fly on the plane, we are transported by several people for fear of being confiscated by the security check." The startups studied used to describe it this way.
In Canada, Grafoid and the National University of Singapore established the world's largest graphene research center (NUS), and launched a new production base in Ontario in 2014. This 20,000-square-meter base mainly produces graphene powder. At that time, The person in charge of the company said that they can mass-produce high-quality graphene at a low price. However, more than a year later, there has not been any new news from this base.
Se poutèt sa, se sitou pwoblèm teknik ki vrèman anpeche aplikasyon grafèn nan gwo -echèl. Pami yo, devlopman metòd sentetik ki konsistan ak repwodiktif pou pri ki ba, gwo-echèl, ak bon kalite-grafèn se pi gwo difikilte.
An interesting thing that people are familiar with is that Andre Gaim used scotch tape to get graphene. But what people don't know is that the graphene obtained by this method has a small size, generally between 10 microns and 100 microns, and has the disadvantages of low yield and high cost, and cannot meet the requirements of industrialization and large-scale production.
Apre sa, metòd rediksyon oksid grafit la se youn nan metòd ki pi souvan itilize pou prepare grafèn. Sepandan, metòd sa a sitou jwenn poud grafèn, ki gen anpil domaj ak pòv pwopriyete elektrik ak mekanik. Asid silfirik konsantre ki nesesè pou oksidasyon grafit, ki se yon pwoblèm difisil nan tretman likid dechè endistriyèl.
Depi lè sa a, moun te panse ke li pa nesesè pou itilize grafit pou prepare grafèn, men sèlman bezwen eseye fè atòm kabòn fòme yon fim mens. Depo chimik vapè (CVD) te vin genyen. Metòd sa a entwodui gaz tankou etilèn oswa asetilèn nan yon chanm reyaksyon pou dekonpoze gaz sa yo nan tanperati ki wo. Apre refwadisman, atòm kabòn yo depoze sou sifas substra a pou fòme grafèn. . Malgre ke CVD ka satisfè kondisyon yo pou gwo -echèl ak segondè-bon jan kalite pwodiksyon grafèn sou yon gwo echèl, pwoblèm nan se ke akòz gwo pri li yo ak pwosesis konplèks, aplikasyon an nan metòd sa a nan pwodiksyon grafèn. se limite.
Akòz gwo diferans nan metòd preparasyon, pri poud grafèn ak fim CVD diferan tou pa dè milye de fwa. Pou egzanp, 1 gram nan poud grafèn sèlman koute mwens pase 10 Yuan, pandan y ap 1 mèt kare nan fim grafèn koute dè dizèn a dè santèn de Yuan, ak pwa li se aktyèlman mwens pase 1 mg.
Gen yon lòt metòd prensipal-metòd pou retire solvant. Depi tout pwosesis èksfolyasyon faz likid la pa prezante okenn domaj sou sifas grafèn, li bay kandida aplikasyon laj pou aplikasyon li yo nan domèn mikwo-elektwonik, materyèl konpoze multifonksyonèl, elatriye. Dezavantaj la se tou ke sede a trè ba.
Therefore, from an application point of view, graphene is currently in the storytelling stage at home and abroad. "In addition, the current industrial standards for the size, uniformity and reliability of graphene in consumer electronics have not yet been determined, so the actual use of graphene in consumer electronics has not yet been shown." Zhu Hongwei believes that graphite At present, ene can make small-scale devices in the laboratory, but mass production and integration quality cannot be guaranteed. "At least there is no hope yet."
An reyalite, menm Gaim tèt li gen rezèvasyon sou komèsyalizasyon aktyèl la nan grafèn. Gaim kwè ke grafèn se yon jadendanfan ki te kondwi devlopman nan yon seri pi laj de materyèl de-dimansyon. Men, pou grafèn, nan pèspektiv nan fizik, li te rive nan yon kou boutèy, epi sof si gen yon pi gwo zouti nan lavni an, li difisil pou fè plis amelyorasyon.

But people can buy a variety of other graphene products. For example, Shengquan Group, a listed company on the New OTC Market, has launched graphene socks and underwear on the market.

According to the company's publicity, they carbonized plant stalks to extract graphene, using the superconductivity of graphene as a raw material for the production of clothes.

Dezavantaj la se tou ke sede a trè ba.
Therefore, from an application point of view, graphene is currently in the storytelling stage at home and abroad. "In addition, the current industrial standards for the size, uniformity and reliability of graphene in consumer electronics have not yet been determined, so the actual use of graphene in consumer electronics has not yet been shown." Zhu Hongwei believes that graphite At present, ene can make small-scale devices in the laboratory, but mass production and integration quality cannot be guaranteed. "At least there is no hope yet."
An reyalite, menm Gaim tèt li gen rezèvasyon sou komèsyalizasyon aktyèl la nan grafèn. Gaim kwè ke grafèn se yon jadendanfan ki te kondwi devlopman nan yon seri pi laj de materyèl de-dimansyon. Men, pou grafèn, nan pèspektiv nan fizik, li te rive nan yon kou boutèy, epi sof si gen yon pi gwo zouti nan lavni an, li difisil pou fè plis amelyorasyon.
