The 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to two research pioneers working on graphene, a material that could have myriad high-tech applications. Why is Graphene not yet being used in industrial applications?
Industries always concern about cost and scalability. Till the graphene is not been able to produced cheaply in large quantities, its difficult to commercialize.
Vadim S. Gorshkov No sir, I meant Graphene. Graphyne has not yet been synthesized.
Shivdev Shahi As you corrected text of the question, it is understandable now.
Now graphene is very expensive. However, during last years it stays cheaper significantly. There are few companies, which offer it, for example CVD-graphene (you can easily find these proposals in Internet).
There are three main fields of applying, I see. First - in microelectronic devices, there its incredible properties will use (for example - ballistic deflection transistor), molecular sensors as well as electrodes (or its components) for both supercapacitors and chemical power sources. I think that during 2-3 years it will be possible alongside of development of synthetic methods. But if you want to include yourself this fashionable trend, then it’s too late to start - the players in the research market have already determined...
