Graphene is a single-layer wafer with only an atomic layer thickness. It is currently widely used in the field of graphene heating and gradually matures in the market. So, what is the potential of graphene in connection with conductive inks?
As we all know, the discovery of graphene is a manifestation of technological innovation. It has excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties. It will be widely used in high-end applications such as materials science, micro-nano processing, energy, biomedicine and drug delivery in the future. Seen as "revolutionary materials that change the future." The conductive ink is an ink made of conductive materials, which can be used as printed conductive dots or conductive lines. What kind of "sparks" will be encountered when the two are combined?
In recent years, the application market of conductive ink is very wide, such as mobile phones, toys, membrane switches, far-infrared heating films, etc. can be seen in its figure. With the rapid development of emerging technologies, conductive inks will usher in rapid growth. Conductive inks based on graphene have strong advantages and good development prospects, and will usher in a "big explosion" in the future.
First of all, conductive inks are filled composite materials, which are conductive inks after printing and sintering. Secondly, graphene conductive ink is highly compatible and can be printed on a variety of substrates such as plastic films, paper and metal foils. In addition, graphene conductive inks are cost-effective and have dual advantages in performance and cost compared to existing nano-metal conductive inks.
Graphene's own excellent performance makes the ink with high conductivity, low square resistance, good transparency and other characteristics, suitable for all kinds of conductive circuits, sensors, intelligent packaging and other electronic equipment. Now, with the maturity of graphene production technology, graphene conductive ink will occupy market share, and the market size of graphene conductive ink is expected to reach 200 million yuan by 2020.
With the continuous maturity of graphene industry technology and the continuous development of downstream application markets, as a new material, graphene will accelerate its commercial application process. The future of the graphene market is huge, and it is expected to spawn trillion-level new markets.
