Graphene characterization standards will be introduced

201711090847021204.png Graphene is the world's first two-dimensional material. Its strength is many times higher than that of steel. Its conductivity is better than that of copper. It is light in weight and flexible. It is a million times thinner than human hair. Graphene will improve the quality of life of countless people around the world. Potential applications include inexpensive water purification systems, more environmentally friendly, more efficient cars and aircraft, flexible cell phones, and even biomedical applications such as wound healing and cancer treatment. The commercial application of graphene will accelerate by answering two key questions: “What are the characteristics of commercially available graphene” and “how best to function”. Establishing common industrial indicators, such as layer or sheet size, is critical to the absorption of graphene-based technologies. As part of the NPL Good Practice Guide series, the National Petroleum University Graphene Institute and NPL have collaborated to produce a guide to how to measure the ambiguity of graphene properties. The guide, titled "Characterization of Graphene Structures," provides graphene producers and users with an understanding of the reliable measurement of graphene structure properties. Material standardization is critical to the application of the industry. There are many early adopters of graphene, but without standardization, it is difficult to ensure the quality and performance of graphene samples. This guide attempts to address this gap and brings together proven measurement technologies in this area. In addition, it describes the high precision required to verify material properties and makes it possible to develop other faster quality control technologies in the future. It also lays the foundation for future interlaboratory comparisons and international standards, accelerates the development of graphene technology, and improves the reliability and repeatability of graphene production. Dr. Andrew Pollard, the lead drafter of the guide and senior research scientist at NPL, commented: “Although there are many ways to measure the properties of different types of commercial graphene, the industry needs a standardized set of measurements. This will enable the company to reliably Compare the key properties of different materials to select the type of material that best suits their needs and develop innovative new graphene-based technologies. This guide is the first step in the process and serves as an international measurement standard currently under development. The foundation, which will provide measurement protocols that can be used during this period.” James Baker, director of graphene business at the University of Manchester, said: “The NGI and NPL teams have created this good practice guide to make the emerging graphene industry Accurate, reproducible, and comparable measurements of graphene in commercial applications. This guide eliminates important commercial barriers by providing users with a consistent method for characterization of graphene structures while developing international measurement standards. ”
