The sheet of carbon atoms, patterned like a honeycomb, with the thickness of a single atom is referred to as Graphene. It is an exciting prospect across the globe for researchers and businesses as it is considered as the thinnest material, conducive to both heat and electricity in the whole world. So basically every industry ranging from - Batteries, Electronics, Energy Generation, Conductivity, etc. has the potential to be revolutionised by this material.

One of the easiest forms in which Graphene is available online is the Graphene Powder. Almost all online Retailing sites sell Graphene Powder. It used to cost around 100$/gram four years back. In the wholesale market however, you would find yourself dealing in kilograms of the product. Even though it is possible to make graphene at home it is preferable to buy it from online sites or other known sources.

The reasons to Purchase Graphene

Graphene has several unique properties that make it the perfect fit for several requirements -

Like, it is one of the(if not the) strongest materials on earth and hence owing to it's Mechanical Strength different people purchase graphene to enhance their materials(strength). It has been proved by researchers that addition of minimal amount(s) of graphene to plastics, metals, etc makes them stronger and/or lighter as lesser amount of material is required to achieve the same strength.

Graphene is a very simple yet extremely effective building block allowing for almost every industry to find some kind of reason to buy it. It can be bought for making anti-corrosion paints and other coatings. It allows for electronics to be faster and more efficient(even solar panels) with more flexible displays. Recently with advances in the field of biology, scientists are using it to expedite the process of DNA sequencing.

Strong and light, it finds use in thermal applications, being the world's most conductive material. Eg Heat-spreading solutions like a Heat sink. Hence, in the mobile industry it can be used to make thermal foils and/or make LED lights more efficient and last longer. Some other places that also purchase graphene are Aerospace Industries, Building Industries, etc which use the graphene to enhance their materials.

The battery industry makes heavy use of graphene owing to it being the world's thinnest material and thus it's ratio of surface area to volume is the highest. It can make fuel cells better. It is also responsible for making batteries faster charging and/or allowing batteries to store more power. Battery coatings, sensors, etc are a few other applications of batteries.
