Experts from Glasgow University made a very important discovery, and told how to reduce the cost of production of graphene can be up to 100 times. They argue that for the production of heavy-duty square meter can be used raw material cost only 1 dollar, while today it is spent not less than $ 115. Reducing the cost of graphene, respectively, will lead to a reduction in price of the final product, based on using this highly flexible and durable material, writes «Planet Today».
The technique allowing cheaper manufacturing of graphene 100 times, as is the copper plates used to manufacture this material. The scientists explain that for large pieces of graphene is suitable and cheap copper, which is used in the manufacture of lithium-ion industry batteries. Such material costs only $ 1 and requires more expensive treatment, the more expensive copper.
Scientists emphasize that if the production of graphene is 100 times cheaper, it will have a positive impact on the pricing policies of many product categories, which is used in the manufacture of heavy-duty material with high thermal and electrical conductivity. This will lead to the mass production of transistors and reduce the cost of touch screen displays up to 10 cents.
According to the physicists, can reduce the cost of production of graphene is 100 times only taking into account the replacement of expensive copper on the cheap. Thus this method avoids the manufacture of other processes such as the treatment of copper plates before use, which also makes production more expensive high-strength material and reflected on the price of the final product.
Recall graphene was discovered by two Russian physicists Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, who produced carbon film one atom thick. Their invention has become indispensable in many fields of human activity, as it has a universal properties and has unprecedented flexibility, strength and electrical conductivity.
