Graphene: One of the Top 10 Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World
Graphene is a next-generation core material, and due to its excellent properties, extensive research is underway.
It is expected to form one of the largest material markets in the future, along with carbon nanotubes.
NeoPatem successfully developed graphene from natural graphite on August 21, 2008, and currently holds the related technology.
Characteristics and Applications of Graphene
- Thickness: Approximately 0.2 nm.
- Electron mobility: 200,000 cm²/V·s — over 100 times more conductive than silicon or copper.
- Strength: 1,100 GPa, 200 times stronger than steel.
- Thermal conductivity: 500 W/m·K — more than twice that of diamond.
- Transparency: Allows over 97.7% of incident light to pass through.
- Elasticity: Retains properties when bent or stretched up to 10%.
Applications
- Used in ultra-high-speed semiconductors due to outstanding electrical characteristics.
- Ideal for flexible and transparent displays and electronic paper using transparent electrodes.
- Used in high-efficiency solar cells, potentially replacing ITO (Indium Tin Oxide).
