Is the era of graphene coming?
What is graphene?
Not long ago, Ren Zhengfei claimed in an interview with the media that a technological revolution will break out in the next 10 to 20 years. "I think the biggest subversion of this era in the future will be the subversion of the silicon era by the graphene era." The limit is seven nanometers, which is close to the boundary, and graphite is at the forefront of the technological revolution.” What is the sacredness of the graphene mentioned here? Can it really bring about disruption?
Graphene — a two-dimensional carbon film just one atom thick — is indeed an astonishing material. Although it has the word graphite in its name, it neither depends on the reserves of graphite nor the characteristics of graphite at all: graphene is highly conductive, bendable, and has good mechanical strength, and it looks like a magical material in the future. Another list of its potential uses—protective coatings, transparent bendable electronics, ultra-capacity capacitors, etc.—would be a world-changing invention. Even the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to it!

But it has been ten years since its birth, where is my transparent phone?
In fact, in 2012, Konstantin Novoselov, who won the Nobel Prize for graphene, and his colleagues published an article in "Nature" to discuss the future of graphene, and the development in the past two years has also Basically proved their prediction. He believes that as a material, graphene "has a bright future and a tortuous road", and although it may play a major role in the future, this scenario will not come until several major difficulties are overcome. More importantly, given the enormous cost of industrial renewal, the benefits of graphene may not be enough to allow it to simply replace existing devices—its real promise may lie in entirely new applications tailored to its unique properties .
What exactly is graphene?
Graphene was the first material ever discovered to consist of a single layer of atoms. The carbon atoms are connected to each other in a hexagonal grid. The graphite used in the pencil is equivalent to the stacking of countless layers of graphene, and the carbon nanotube is the graphene rolled into a tube.
The relationship between graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and spherulene. Due to the properties of the chemical bonds between carbon atoms, graphene is very tough: it can be bent to large angles without breaking, and it can also withstand high pressures. And because there is only one layer of atoms, the movement of electrons is confined to a plane, giving it entirely new electrical properties. Graphene is transparent in visible light, but not breathable. These characteristics make it ideal as a raw material for protective layers and transparent electronics.
