Graphene Roadmap Briefs (No. 2): industrialization status and prospects 2020

Abstract The remarkable properties of graphene and related materials (GRMs) promise substantial benefits for a wide range technologies. Their industrial utilization, however, critically depends on the availability suitable GRM supply in terms both quality quantity at competitive price. All factors remain highly specific to each application scenario, while emerging industry still struggles engage prospective clients active development GRM-enhanced products. present issue Graphene Roadmap Briefs compiles results status prospects industrialization gathered by several innovation interface investigations (3I) that we conducted throughout past 3 years. Each 3I study focussed unique value chain promises enable or advance future. While individual roadmaps mainly cover peculiarities under investigation, combine all regarding primary material sector it is rapidly evolving context Europe beyond here. We introduce initial 2018 roadmap its thorough 2020 revision extension. Our conclusions crucial hampering diffusion today opportunities overcome these bottlenecks About: highlight key areas impacted 2D as well overarching aspects prospects. series bases technology process initiated European Flagship. It covers trends fundamental scientific discovery applied research utilization opportunities.
