InvestorIntel published a list of 20 things those interested in graphene should know about the so-called “wonder material.” Here’s a look at a few of those points:
- To realise its full potential graphene needs to be produced in large scale. Large scale means different things to different people: To some it means producing graphene in kilogram quantities – but very small (nanometre sized) flake particles of graphene.To others it means producing larger (millimetre sized) flake particles but in microgram quantities. There is much potential for confusion when describing graphene production.
- No method currently exists to make continuous defect free graphene sheets larger than 10 centimetres. Most experts believe that the CVD method will be the most promising graphene production method for the future, rather than exfoliation from graphite.
- Long term development – Graphene was discovered in 2004, yet is still in its development phase. Investors need to be aware that it could take another 10 to 20 years before full-scale commercialisation of graphene takes place.
