Bulk graphene type includes graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and other forms of graphene. Graphene oxide is an oxidized form of graphene available in powder and dispersion forms. So, when deposited on any substrate, it can easily be converted into a conductor, making it feasible for the production of transparent conductive films, chemical sensors, flexible electronics, and touch screens. The low cost and ease of production make graphene oxide a preferred graphene type in major applications such as rust-free coatings and flexible composite materials. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) are available in flakes and layers of graphite that are prepared to depend on the requirements of end users. GNPs are widely used in ink formulation, conductive inks, printed electronics, coatings, energy storage, nanocomposite materials, and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, and other applications, as they are lightweight and have a long life span. They are also heat-resistant and cost-effective.
The composite application segment held the largest share of the graphene market. This high share is owing to the established applications of graphene in composite components. Weight reduction is a major challenge in various end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods. Graphene enhances the conductivity and strength of composite materials while maintaining their flexibility. Graphene-based composites are used in various end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive & transportation, medical implants, sports equipment, and among others. These industries are expected to drive the demand for graphene in the future.
