$141M GRAPHENE MATERIALS MARKET IN 2024 WILL BE DRIVEN MAINLY BY TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE ELECTRODES AND ENERGY STORAGE APPLICATIONS
Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) material with exceptional properties, such as ultrahigh electrical and thermal conductivities, wide-range optical transmittance and excellent mechanical strength and flexibility. These properties make it a promising material for emerging and existing applications in printed & flexible circuitry, ultrafast transistors, touch screens, advanced batteries and supercapacitors, ultrafast lasers, photodetectors and many other non-electronic applications.
Although graphene technology is still in its infancy, remarkable progress has been made in the last few years developing graphene production methods. Numerous opto and electronic devices based on graphene have been demonstrated on lab-scale models. However, the numerous challenges of graphene technology should not be underestimated. The lack of bandgap in graphene is its key fundamental challenge. Other technology challenges are related to the development of industrial methods to produce graphene with high and consistent quality at acceptable costs.
Although today there is no graphene-based electronic application in mass production, several companies already offer commercially graphene materials. The graphene material market value in 2013 was about $11 million, represented principally by the demand for the R&D and prototyping. Two scenarios for the future market growth are presented in the report. According to the base scenario, the global annual market value for graphene materials in opto and electronic applications will reach $141 million in 2024, featuring a 2013-2019 CAGR of 18.5%. Accelerated market growth is expected after 2019, with a 2019-2024 CAGR of 35.7%. In 2024, the graphene material market will be represented mainly by the demand for transparent conductive electrodes and advanced batteries and supercapacitors.

This document describes the use of multilayer graphene films synthesized via chemical vapor deposition as hydrogen sensors. Specifically, multilayer graphene was grown on copper catalyst at 1000°C using methane and hydrogen precursor gases. The graphene films were characterized using atomic force microscopy, which showed the films increased in roughness and thickness with longer deposition times. The rougher, thicker films were found to be better for hydrogen sensing as they create more sites for hydrogen adsorption.

This document describes research on producing multilayer graphene oxide membranes using different oxidation methods of vein graphite. The objectives were to compare the sp2/sp3 carbon ratios in the resulting graphite oxides. Two methods were used: Hummers' method and an improved Hummers' method. Analysis using SEM, XPS, and carbon/oxygen ratios showed the improved method produced a higher fraction of oxidized carbon with a sp3/sp2 ratio of 3.62:1, compared to 1.04:1 for the standard Hummers' method. This indicates the improved method yields better oxidation of the graphite starting material.

Graphene oxide is a compound produced by treating graphite with strong oxidizing agents. It consists of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms arranged in a layered structure similar to graphite. Graphene oxide can be dispersed into single-atom thick sheets in water and other solvents. It has unique optical, thermal, and mechanical properties that make it useful for applications such as composite materials, energy storage, and biomedical devices. Reduction of graphene oxide is needed to recover its electrical conductivity by removing oxygen groups and restoring the honeycomb lattice structure.
This document discusses the mechanism of graphene oxide (GO) formation from graphite. The key points are:
1. GO formation involves three distinct steps - first, graphite is converted to a stage-1 graphite intercalation compound (GIC); second, the GIC is converted to "pristine graphite oxide" (PGO); third, PGO is converted to conventional GO upon exposure to water.
2. The first step of GIC formation occurs rapidly. The second step of converting the GIC to PGO is much slower and is the rate-determining step.
3. Partial oxidation experiments show the reaction proceeds from the flake edges inward, with different spectroscopic signatures

Effect of dilution on microstructure and hardness of a nickel-base hardfacing...RAMASUBBU VELAYUTHAM
1) The document examines the effect of dilution on the microstructure and hardness of a nickel-base hardfacing alloy deposited on an austenitic stainless steel substrate.
2) Electron probe microanalysis revealed considerable dilution of the hardfacing alloy by the substrate material within the first 2.5mm of the deposit, altering the chemistry, microstructure, and decreasing the hardness in this region.
3) Beyond 2.5mm from the interface, the hardness increases to levels comparable to the undiluted alloy as subsequent deposit layers approach, due to decreasing dilution effects farther from the substrate.
1) Graphene oxide coatings were deposited on mild steel substrates using electrophoretic deposition. The coatings were characterized using various techniques and their corrosion resistance was evaluated using electrochemical tests.
2) Thermally treated graphene oxide coatings provided better corrosion resistance than bare mild steel, reducing the corrosion rate by about half. This is likely due to the coatings becoming more hydrophobic and developing a denser graphitic structure upon heating.
3) Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the thermally treated graphene oxide coatings had a higher charge transfer resistance, indicating their ability to act as a barrier against corrosion by limiting the access of corrosive electrolytes to the steel substrate.
The document describes developing a multilayer coating of electroless nickel and electrolytic chromium/copper on an aluminum 7075 substrate. The coating is intended to improve adhesion, wear resistance, conductivity, and corrosion resistance while achieving a thickness of 10 microns. The coating process involves surface preparation including degreasing, activation, and zincating followed by electroless nickel deposition and electrolytic chromium plating. Characterization of coated and uncoated samples found that the coated sample had better corrosion resistance, hardness, and conductivity. Some issues with reproducibility were identified for further improvement.

surface characteristics and electrochemical impedance investigation of spark-...mohammad fazel
This document summarizes a study that investigated the surface characteristics of oxide films formed on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by spark anodization in H2SO4/H3PO4 electrolyte at different voltages. The results showed that increasing the anodization voltage increased the pore diameter and porosity of the oxide layer. Higher voltages also produced thicker oxide layers and rougher surfaces. Analysis found the layers incorporated elements from the electrolyte and consisted of crystalline anatase. Electrochemical testing indicated the impedance behavior was affected by the space charge region, inner compact layer and outer porous layer, and that corrosion resistance decreased with higher voltages.
