• Graphene is extensively researched in China. Xiaoyue Xiao, Yichun Li and Zhaoping Liu illustrate how the China Innovation Alliance of the Graphene Industry aims to harness this for commercial opportunities. Graphene receives substantial interest, driven by the unique physics it presents and a plethora of properties that make it attractive for applications. In particular, high in-plane conductivity, carrier mobility, transparency, exibility and strength means that graphene has potential for implementation in a range of functional electronic devices, and for energy harvesting and storage, sensors, optoelectronics, composites and so on. Consequently, substantial eorts have been focused towards its research and development (R&D), with particular activity in the United States, Europe, South Korea and Japan. Likewise, the Chinese scientic community has invested considerably in this area.
