Graphene is expected to be selected as a major project for new materials in the 13th Five-Year Plan

On June 17, the Sino-Canadian Graphene Industry and Application Seminar was held, at which it was reported that graphene is expected to be selected as a major project for new materials in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", and graphene research and development and industrialization will also occupy a certain position
in the "Thirteenth Five-Year" scientific and technological development plan.

The state attaches great importance to the development and application
of graphene industry.
"Made in China 2025" proposes to pay great attention to the impact of disruptive new materials on traditional materials, and do a good job in the advance layout and development
of strategic frontier materials such as superconducting materials, nanomaterials, graphene, and bio-based materials.
The "Technology Roadmap for Key Areas < Made in China 2025 >" also deploys the medium- and long-term development route of graphene and is included in the "13th Five-Year Development Plan for New Materials Industry
".
On November 20, 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued Several Opinions on Accelerating the Innovation and Development of the Graphene Industry
.

Xiao Jinsong, director of the Raw Material Industry Research Institute of the CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the industry is very much looking forward to the establishment of a national graphene research and development institution, the establishment of a number of national new material innovation centers, and the development of the graphene industry into the "13th Five-Year" science and technology development plan
.

Liu Ronghua, deputy secretary-general of the Graphite Special Committee of the China Non-metallic Minerals Industry Association, said that the market's expectations for graphene industry policies are very strong, and graphene is expected to be selected as a major special project for new materials in the "13th Five-Year Plan
".

"The graphene industry is in the concept introduction period and the early stage
of industrialization breakthrough.
" Xiao Jinsong said at the meeting that at present, the capital market has made graphene a god material, but domestic research lacks valuable professional and research and development results, most of the listed companies are in a state of loss, the graphene market is too hot, and the attitude of the industry is "no rabbit and no eagle"
.

He believes that at present, there are three main problems in graphene industrialization: technology, market and cost, such as key technologies have not yet made substantial breakthroughs, backward research and development in downstream applications, lack of guidance for industrial application technologies, large amount of investment in early research and development and long cycle
.

In Xiao Jinsong's view, according to the maturity cycle of the silicon material industry for 20 years, the industrialization of graphene will take at least 5-10 years, and how to break the situation next is the key
.

Liu Ronghua conducted a survey
on graphene-related industries in April this year.
He expects that in the future, graphene will be the most promising to be industrialized
in the fields of composite materials, lithium-ion cathode materials and electronic touches.
At present, it has been commercialized as a conductive additive
in cathode materials.
The greater focus of graphene in the display field is in the field of flexible touch, and graphene film will usher in a major development
with the demand of the market.
