Development of graphene

THE Hangzhou Graphene Industry Union was founded on April 7 as a non-governmental platform for cooperation among graphene researchers, manufacturers and service providers.

Zhejiang University, Zhejiang University of Technology, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University and Hangzhou Normal University are members of the union. They all have labs in graphene research and product development.

In 2013, a Zhejiang University re­search team led by professor Gao Chao succeeded in producing graphene aerogel, which is the lightest solid ma­terial on earth and weighs only 0.16 milligrams per cubic centimeter, less than one-fifth of the weight of nickel aerogel made by American scientist in 2011.

“The Hangzhou Graphene Industry Union provides a platform for scien­tists and enterprises to pool resources and build an industrial chain for gra­phene production,” said Gao at the founding ceremony.

Hangzhou companies have made significant progress in the application of graphene in many products, such as air purifiers, electric devices and smartphones.
