The Commission of European Union declared on June. 23, 2014 that the Graphene Project, one of the biggest research and development plans in Europe, will absorb 66 new partners. 

According to relevant news, the newly joined 66 partners above come from 19 countries, among which Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, and Israel are first to join in the project. It is notable that over one-third of  the partners are SMEs, indicating the consistent increase in people's interest in graphene.

As the thinnest and hardest nano materials that have the best electrical conductivity and amazing flexibility, graphene  can be widely used in lithium ion battery, super capacitor, solar cell, and other energy storage products. However, due to high costs, little companies have gone into operation. 

Since graphene  can make the screen of electronic products clearer, these products will become thinner, faster, and cheaper than those adopting silicon material. Besides that, batteries with longer cruising duration are waterproof.

In 2011, the U.S. Northwestern University researchers produced batteries with graphene and silicon as raw materials. The university claimed that this kind of batteries can last for a week and each time it only takes 15 minutes to charge. In 2012, the ACS (American Chemical Society) declared that progress in graphene technology can make a cellphone as thin as a paper sheet that can be folded right into one's pocket.

Currently, Samsung has found ways to produce superior graphene on silicon wafers. Actually, Samsung is not the only technology company that makes research in graphene. Researchers from IBM, Nokia, and SanDisk are making concerted efforts to produce new sensors, transistors, and memorizer.
