Graphene is the basic structural unit of graphite, a single atomic layer of hexagonal lattice plane. Stacking graphene layers forms graphite. The wonder of the nanoworld lies in that once the graphite basal plane is liberated from its three-dimensional collective, it exhibits a series of extraordinary properties, and is hailed as a "super material".

　　It is worth discussing that graphene, as a simple substance of carbon element, strictly speaking, should not "apply" the naming method of organic matter. As we all know, "alkane, alkene, alkyne" are the naming methods of hydrocarbons, according to the perfection of carbon-carbon bonds, saturated (perfect) carbon bonds are called alkanes, the fire radical indicates its flammability, alkene corresponds to carbon-carbon double bonds (less common), and alkyne corresponds to carbon-carbon triple bonds (further lack of saturation). This lack of rigor is due to historical reasons, so let's not mention it. However, this lack of rigor has opened the floodgates, making "ene" a fashionable naming method for subsequent two-dimensional materials, which is regrettable.

　　From the perspective of its use value, graphene is the thinnest and strongest nanomaterial known. It is almost completely transparent, lightweight, structurally stable, and has good flexibility and ultra-high electrical and thermal conductivity. It has enormous application potential in high-tech fields and is a highly radiative and strategically significant "disruptive material". We choose graphene as the research subject to develop and strengthen it, mainly because graphene research can promote the upgrading of traditional materials and drive the innovation of a large number of civilian and military industries.

　　It is worth noting that currently, the mainstream powder graphene manufacturing technology internationally has the problem of "three highs and one low": although the mainstream oxidation-reduction technology is more suitable for large-scale production, the production process is highly polluting, the product defect rate is extremely high, and it is not suitable for high-performance fields. Although the British arc method technology can prepare nano-corners with a structure close to graphene, the production efficiency is extremely low, seriously hindering the industrial application of graphene. Therefore, in recent years, international research hotspots have focused on the repair technology of high-defect graphene, which treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Our team has focused on the source of graphene manufacturing, carried out scientific research, and invented a world-leading green mass production technology for high-quality graphene, achieving the goal of producing high-quality graphene powder in one step using a clean method. Its preparation process has energy consumption less than 1% of the arc method, the product quality is superior to the arc method, the cost is less than 0.5%, and the annual output of a single unit with comparable energy consumption can reach tens of tons.

　　Not only in terms of preparation, but also the industrial application of graphene is our focus. In view of the problems of easy fire and explosion and weak battery life of current lithium batteries, Guosheng Advanced Technology Innovation Park (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. uses graphene to replace traditional graphite as the battery negative electrode material, and combines graphene with non-embedded positive electrode materials to develop relatively mature metal-ion batteries, which can increase the energy density by 2.5 times, faster charging and discharging speed, and safer use. For PM2.5, one of the major sources of automobile exhaust emissions, the research institute has developed graphene fabrics with high filtration efficiency to solve the problem of exhaust pollution; research on functional composite materials such as infrared heating, efficient heat exchange, electromagnetic shielding, anti-corrosion, anti-corrosion lubricating grease, sterilization, and physiotherapy is also gradually progressing.

　　Currently, with Guosheng Advanced Technology Innovation Park (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. as the research and development leader, it is actively building a graphene innovation base, and will build a manufacturing center with an annual output of more than 50 tons, incubate application technologies, and form an application industrial chain radiating the surrounding areas, realizing on-site production, digestion, and application.
