    On November 26, Huawei released the new mobile phone Mate8
    at the Shanghai World Expo Center.
    Before the press conference, market participants analyzed that one of the highlights of Huawei's new products is the use of new graphene batteries
    .
    It is understood that Huawei has previously demonstrated this fast charging technology using the characteristics of graphene batteries in Japan, which can charge the 3000mAh battery to 48%
    in 5 minutes.

    But then some market participants pointed out that Huawei Mate8 did not directly use graphene materials
    .
    A report by Anxin Electronics said that the phone uses improved polymer technology, the battery cells are Sony and ATL, and the package is Scud and Sunwoda, because the TI fast charging chip is used to achieve graphene charging performance, so the biggest highlight of the product is fast charging, not graphene material
    .

    Graphene, known as the "king of new materials", has indeed received great attention
    from Huawei.
    On October 23, on the day of President Xi Jinping's visit to the National Graphene Institute of the University of Manchester, Huawei announced that it and the University of Manchester will jointly develop next-generation high-performance technologies in the ICT field to study how to apply breakthrough achievements in the field of graphene to consumer electronics and mobile communication devices
    .
    Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, has also talked about graphene many times before, believing that "the biggest disruption in this era will be the graphene era will subvert the silicon era", and a technological revolution
    will break out in the next 10 to 20 years.

    In fact, although many listed companies have entered the field of graphene, they have not yet achieved mass production
    .
    The "graphene battery", which has been hyped many times, is even called a "big lie"
    .
    Liu Guanwei, a researcher at Tsinghua Energy Internet, said that the technology of "graphene battery" is close to non-existent, and graphene can only improve the charge and discharge rate in theory, and basically does not help to improve the capacity (energy), and its gimmick significance is far greater than practical value
    .
    Moreover, the high specific surface area and other properties of the graphene material itself are incompatible with the current technical system of the lithium-ion battery industry, and the hope of application is very slim
