In recent years, with the growing popularity of new energy vehicles and mobile communication devices, graphene has emerged as a focal point in the industry due to its potential to enhance and optimize power and energy storage materials. Some experts predict that the graphene application market could exceed 1 trillion yuan within the next decade.
However, despite the buzz around graphene, it's crucial to clarify that there is currently no commercialized "graphene battery." When mixed with traditional battery materials, graphene can significantly boost charge rates, extend battery life cycles, and become a key differentiator for power battery manufacturers in this competitive landscape. Although research into graphene applications continues to progress, it remains a significant challenge for China's battery industry. If graphene can indeed improve battery capacity and enable rapid charging, it would address critical issues hindering the widespread adoption of power batteries, especially for the lead-acid battery sector. This could present a major opportunity for graphene in the power battery market.
According to Zhao Meng, Deputy Secretary-General of the China International Graphene Industry Resources Alliance, graphene currently finds its primary applications in lithium-ion batteries through two main approaches: as a conductive additive to existing electrode materials or as a composite material to improve electrode conductivity and charge-discharge rates. Additionally, graphene can serve as a current collector or coating to enhance battery power characteristics. Directly using graphene as a negative electrode material remains impractical due to surface instability and low initial efficiency, making it unsuitable for meeting the demands of lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries, integral to the new energy vehicle industry, continue to attract investor interest. Adding graphene to these batteries reduces internal resistance, enabling faster charging times—some prototypes take less than 10 minutes—and increases energy density from 0.1 kWh/kg to 1-15 kWh/kg, while reducing weight by over 90%. However, despite these advancements, Zhao Meng insists that the term "graphene battery" remains a misnomer for now.
Graphene also holds immense potential beyond batteries. In the automotive sector, graphene is already being utilized in various components like tires, LED lights, glass, lubricants, and even car bodies. For instance, graphene-conductive tires can prevent static buildup, reducing fire risks, while also doubling tire lifespan and improving durability against wear and punctures. In lubricants, graphene forms a protective film on friction surfaces, enhancing wear resistance.
Zhao Meng emphasized that graphene's application in power batteries should align with market needs, prioritizing technological breakthroughs and problem-solving. Collaboration between producers, academics, researchers, and users is essential to foster innovation across the entire supply chain. Furthermore, partnering with new energy vehicle companies could accelerate graphene's integration into electric logistics, transport, taxi, and other specialized vehicle battery accessories, driving market expansion and financial partnerships.
While graphene shows promise in addressing some of the challenges faced by the new energy vehicle industry, its full potential remains untapped. As research progresses and manufacturing processes improve, graphene could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable mobility and energy storage.
Plate Heat Exchanger Sheet
The etching plate heat exchanger sheet is specifically used in the plate heat exchanger to isolate the media and heat exchange plate, is an important part of the plate heat exchanger. The quality of the plate heat exchanger plate affects the overall performance and working condition of the plate heat exchanger. The main materials we use in plate heat exchanger sheet are stainless steel, titanium and titanium-palladium.
Half Etching Metal plates thin metal plates with corrugations, sealing grooves and angular holes, which are important heat transfer elements. Corrugation can not only strengthen the heat transfer and can increase the rigidity of the thin plate and thus improve the pressure-bearing capacity of the plate heat exchanger, and as a result of the liquid is turbulent, it can reduce the formation of sediment or dirt, play a certain "self-cleaning" role.
We custom plate heat exchanger sheet with drawings provided by customers. We are equipped with professional metal etching equipment and exposure development equipment. We can guarantee that our half etching plate heat exchanger sheet have straight surface line, and have no burr, high product accuracy.
