Those who work on the form of carbon known as graphene have seen it rocket from the next big thing to a miracle material in less time than it can take for a research paper to be accepted and published. Yet although the hunt is on for applications that can exploit graphene's remarkable properties, the work necessary to find out how it could best be harnessed remains incomplete.

This is one reason why many scientists who attended a meeting on the subject earlier this month were cautious about raising expectations too high. 'Graphene: The Road to Applications' was held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on 11¨C13 May, and was hosted by Nature Publishing Group.

As with most 'overnight' success stories, the field of graphene research actually had a very slow start. Physicists have long been fascinated by this one-atom-thick planar crystal of carbon atoms, but until a few years ago most considered it a hypothetical system, useful for studying fundamental properties of matter but not able to exist in free form. It took a steady build-up of theoretical work and pioneering experiments over several decades before the research storm broke when it became possible to isolate graphene sheets in a laboratory.

The material certainly has an impressive set of properties. And there is no denying its tantalizing promise. As a thin membrane ¡ª flexible, strong and impermeable ¡ª graphene is an attractive platform on which to build devices. Add to that its high electron mobility and excellent optical and thermal properties, and the potential for applications seems endless. But the key word here is potential. The reality is that for many of graphene's widely promoted applications, it currently performs no better than existing materials and conventional approaches. For example, graphene performs relatively poorly as a transparent conductor in conventional displays, touch screens and photovoltaic cells. Neither is it a serious contender to replace silicon in standard electronics, because it does not work well as a digital switch, the essential function of a silicon transistor.

This should not necessarily be discouraging; the field is still very young. Those who talk up the potential of graphene's applications should remember that it typically takes any technology some 20 years to emerge from the lab and be commercialized ¡ª and even then it can succeed only with sustained effort and interest from researchers, industry and funding agencies (see Nature 469, 14¨C16; 2011).

¡°It typically takes any technology some 20 years to emerge from the lab and be commercialized.¡±
It is crucial to identify and acknowledge practical hurdles ¡ª and when it comes to fabricating and designing graphene devices, there are many. As was stressed many times at the Cambridge meeting, the single biggest obstacle is the lack of a way to reliably produce high-quality graphene sheets in large quantities. The quality and structure of the sheets can differ from batch to batch, which can make devices behave inconsistently.

Furthermore, although the pristine form of graphene has high electron mobility, meaning that devices based on it have the potential to run at high speeds, this changes dramatically when it interacts with its environment, as it does when attached to a substrate. The material will be valuable only if it can perform reliably when put to work.

Graphene stands out from other materials for its combination of superlative properties. In the right application, it could have an enormous impact. For example, although graphene does not perform well in digital electronics, there is much interest in using it to make high-frequency transistors for analogue applications ¡ª where it could be truly useful in wireless communication. Another important, if low-profile, role for graphene could be as a passive layer for heat management in electronic devices. Such targeting of graphene's potential will be vital to its success.

A few carefully chosen driver applications, although possibly not as obvious or exciting as some of the uses currently flagged, would give research on the material a better chance of holding on to wide interest in the long term ¡ª especially from funding agencies. Overnight success takes time to build.
