Large-scale industrial production of various types of graphene has been achieved. Commercially available graphene is broadly divided into large-area graphene films and bulk/flake graphene (e.g. graphene oxide flakes and graphene).
It is the film format that is expected to provide the greatest economic return for the graphene industry. This encompasses CVD produced graphene and is slated for “killer apps” in flexible electronics, transparent conductive electrodes, photovoltaics and energy storage. In this issue we review current commercial activities, applications and market challenges for CVD graphene.
Graphene water filters have been garnering a lot of publicity later and is the focus of our other lead article this month. Again we cover market challenges, applications and what is happening commercially as we continue to bring you all the latest news on practical applications of graphene.
