Graphene is an effective conductor, which is extremely lightweight, and highly flexible with a large surface area, making it an excellent material for high capacity energy storage. Continuous R&D activities to develop innovative and improved products, such as graphene-based supercapacitors and Lithium sulfur batteries, are in progress. Adoption of graphene-based batteries is expected to increase during the forecast period due to features such as quick charging capacity, increased charge cycles, effectiveness in high temperatures, and extended duration to hold charge. The market is anticipated to witness high financial investments owing to its high returnoninvestments.
The report comprises of batteries which are using graphene as electrode material such as Li-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, supercapacitors, and Li-Sulfur batteries. During the forecast period, it is estimated that graphene will be used as anode material as well as cathode material. Conventional graphitic anodes in Li-ion batteries cannot provide high-power densities due to slow diffusivity of lithium ions. Graphene has high electrical conductivity, large specific surface area, and mechanical robustness and is therefore, a promising material for Li-ion battery anodes. Overall conductivity of anodes can be increased due to superior electrical conductivity of graphenenano sheets. Graphene can effectively improve the electron and ion transportation of the electrode materials and can impressively enhance lithium ion battery’s properties and provide better chemical stability, higher electrical conductivity, and higher capacity.
Rise in sales of electric vehicles majorly drives the graphene battery market growth, owing to extended range for long distance travelling and lesser charging time. Moreover, thriving portable electronics market is expected to boost the market growth. Furthermore, increase in government investments in R&D are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities. However, lack of awareness of graphene technology, and incapability of market for in-commercialization process of graphene battery are expected to hinder the growth of the graphene battery market.
Nonetheless, graphene has the potential to be widely used in the fields of physics, chemistry, information, energy, and device manufacturing. Graphene is thin, mechanically strong, transparent, and a flexible conductor. Its conductivity can be modified over a large range either by chemical doping or by an electric field. This report covers industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, healthcare, energy storage, electronics, and industrial robotics. Automotive, electronics, and aerospace & defense are expected to consume the major share of the market during the forecast period.

Analyst Review
The fundamental properties of graphene make it a promising material for a multitude of applications. Graphene has attracted great interest for supercapacitors and batteries because of its very high surface area. However, graphene has few limitations to be used in energy storage solution as it is important to know the energy density of a completely packaged cell and not just the capacitance of the active material.
Presently, graphene is one of the most studied material for charge storage and the results from many laboratories approve its potential to change today’s energy storage landscape. Graphene offers several new features for energy storage devices, such as smaller capacitors, completely flexible and rolling energy storage devices, transparent batteries, and high capacity and fast-charging devices.
The process of splitting graphite into graphene is not extremely difficult and the cost of graphene will be reduced over a course of time with technological developments. There are several processes of splitting graphite into graphene nano platelets. There are some processes which allow splitting from gas, but they are not very popular. Graphene can be chemically processed into various forms suitable for both the positive and negative electrodes, enabling the fabrication of an all-graphene battery with an ultrahigh energy density.
Graphene market is small but is growing and the key companies will be collaborating with other companies to compete in the market. Graphene finds its main application in conductive & additives and energy storage.
The graphene market is expected to develophybrid devices, which would be a combination battery & supercapacitors and will help in protecting the batteries from out charging. Supercapacitors will grow very rapidly in automotive and aerospace & defense industry.
Graphene based batteries have a bright future as graphene electrodes will find application in the progress of other battery chemistries. For example, an aluminum-ion battery was recently developed that can be fully charged in under one minute because of the ultrafast ion intercalation into 3D graphene foams.
According to executives of Graphene Supplier Company, graphene as electrode material holds a promising potential in changing the chemistry of conventional batteries. The executive says as: "graphene-based nanomaterials have many promising applications in energy-related areas, especially for the next generation of battery technologies required to replace today’s Li-ion batteries. Entrepreneurs and large OEMs across a huge number of industrial and commercial applications—not just electric cars but also fork lifts, uninterrupted power supplies, electric buses and aero planes, mobile robotics, exoskeletons, and many others—have launched businesses that require significant improvements in battery performance and economics to succeed. NanoXplore’s few layer graphene and proprietary composites are especially suited to electrode-based energy solutions, and specifically for improving the performance of Li-ion anodes and cathodes."
