Graphene is one of the most important breakthroughs in material science, but it's still not living up to its potential

Graphene is considered one of the most important breakthroughs in material science census.

The wonder material was widely overhyped and it's still not lived up to its potential.

In my 2020 video about graphene, this material was still more like a promise than a reality.

However, we're beginning to see more concrete and realistic applications hitting the market, not those out of the world promises like the space elevator.

Graphene is a nanoscale reinforcement, like the steel reinforcement bar, but at the atomic level.

The Australian based company, First Graphenhene has its sights on the cement and concrete industry.

The company has been diversifying applications in several sectors, including automotive, aerospace, wind turbine blade manufacturing and more.

Graphene has the potential to achieve higher energy densities, 10 times higher than graphite anodes, which currently sits at about 400 milliamp hours per gram.

The Global Group is also focusing on silicon anodes with their subsidiary inks from Energy . The graphene market has been hot around the globe is projected to grow from $388 million in 2021 to over 4 billion in 2028 .
