Graphene has excellent composite properties. Although its downstream applications have not yet been industrialized, its potential applications are very wide, such as composite materials, filters, energy storage, transistors, sensors, flexible transparent electrodes, etc.

Lightweight Composite Reinforcement Materials

Graphene is a material with high strength known to human beings, comparable to single-walled carbon nanotubes, 20 times tougher than carbon fibers, and high tensile strength. In the field of transportation, especially in the aviation, aerospace and automotive industries, most applications require lightweight composite reinforcement materials. Replacing metal with carbon composite materials to achieve lightweight vehicles can effectively improve energy efficiency. In the process of replacing lightweight materials , graphene will play an important role.

The application of graphene in the field of lightweight composite reinforced materials has two advantages: one is multilayer graphene oxide, which can be used as a 3D printing material; the other is that 3D graphene or graphene airgel can be synthesized on catalytic metal foam, and its The density is only 0.16g/cm3.

However, compared with other materials, graphene, as a lightweight composite reinforcement material, also has high cost limitations: fibers, nanowires and carbon nanotubes are easier to make composite materials with high performance and lower cost, and graphene nanoribbons have better performance. For excellent, but currently difficult to prepare and expensive.
