Graphdiyne Market Overview

The Graphdiyne Market size is estimated to reach a value of US$45.8 million by the end of 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during 2022-2027. Graphdiyne is a carbon allotrope with a two-dimensional (2D) structure. In a two-dimensional planar network, graphdiyne comprises sp and sp²-hybridized carbon atoms that form benzene rings and diacetylene connections. It can form a 2d hexagonal allotrope with boron nitride. It is available in different structures like nanotubes, nanowires, nanoribbons and nanosheets. Graphdiyne like carbon nanotubes serve a purpose in various prototypes in nanomaterials. Its unique sp–sp² carbon atoms, uniform pores and highly-conjugated structure have promising applications in gas separation, catalysis, water remediation, humidity sensors and energy-related fields. Graphdiyne interacts with metal ions and this property has a wide variety of applications in different industries, which is boosting the global graphdiyne industry.

COVID-19 Impact

Many industries across the globe have faced several challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The industries such as energy and power, optoelectronics, water purification including many others have experienced pitfalls. Many projects in such industries have been halted due to an interrupted supply chain and employee shortages due to quarantines. Also, the production and demand in the electrical and electronics industry have declined due to an interrupted supply chain and the cessation of the transportation of raw materials. According to International Energy Agency, global electrical demand in June and July 2020 was 5-10% below from 2019 level. Moreover, there was a sharp decrease in the production of transistors and sensors due to the factory shutdown. Thus, the global pause in industrial production and distribution, the demand and consumption of global graphdiyne has hampered to an extent in several industries.

Graphdiyne Market Segment Analysis – by Geography

The Asia Pacific is the leading region accounted for the largest portion in the Graphdiyne Market share in 2021 and held nearly 33% of the market share. This growth is mainly attributed to the increase in energy and power demand. Rechargeable batteries have more capacity to retain the charge which is not the case with capacitors. Therefore, it serves a great purpose in energy storage. A graphdiyne is used in the manufacturing of the battery material. This material can be used in a complete lithium-ion cell with a variety of electrolytes and cathodes. Graphdiyne has a low areal density and a large electrochemical window, allowing it to operate at a variety of voltages. According to International Energy Agency, the total energy supply in the Asia Pacific in 2019 was 260132572 trillion joules. Thus, the growth in energy and power and surge in demand for energy storage and rechargeable batteries, in turn, boosts the market growth.

Graphdiyne Market Drivers

Potential Application of Graphdiyne Nanomaterial in Filtration 

Graphdiyne is an emerging carbon-based material. The primary factor that accounts for the organic compounds removal effectiveness in water treatment is electrochemical oxidation of water to produce highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. It has excellent heavy metal adsorption properties. The current water purification system is inefficient to serve the increasing requirement for filtration. According to Membracon, 40% of the world's population in 2021 is facing water-related issues. If nothing changes, the figure is expected to reach 50% of the global population by 2050. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient nanomaterial-based purification system. Thus, the increase in the demand for water treatment is fueling the growth of the Graphdiyne Market.

Growth in Solar Industry

Graphdiyne can be used in photovoltaic applications in solar cells. It can improve the performance of solar cells greatly as it has a high conversion efficiency of 21.01%. Graphdiyne has excellent environmental stability and electronic properties. When compared to standard carbon materials, graphdiyne has uniformly dispersed pores, limitless design flexibility and a distinct electrical character. Because of its higher Fermi level, it is critical for hole accumulation and transportation. As a result, photogenerated carriers can be separated automatically. Solar energy, a renewable energy source, has great scope as it is a clean and sustainable source of energy. According to the United States Department of Energy, around 1 million solar cell units have been built in the last 2 years in the United States. Thus, the growth of the solar industry and surge in demand for clean energy is boosting the demand for the Graphdiyne Market.

Graphdiyne Market Challenge

Limitations in Using Nanocomposite

There is a fundamental difference between graphdiyne and graphene. Graphdiyne has a stiffness of around 30% that of graphyne, however, its strength is likely to be significantly diminished. The extra acetylenic linkage significantly reduced the atomic coordination number, resulting in weaker bonding, resulting these decreases. It's also worth noting that graphdiyne appears to have an isotropic mechanical behavior. Therefore, graphdiyne is not suitable for usage in nanocomposites which may hamper the market growth.
