Features of Graphene Heat Sink

Date:2023-07-01 

Graphene heat sink is a high-performance heat dissipation parts that uses graphene as a raw material and is molded using a special graphitization method. Graphene heat sinks have appeared on the market in recent years. This type of material heat sink can solve heat dissipation problems and reduce heat dissipation costs. When we choose graphene heat sinks, we also need to understand their advantages and disadvantages.

                                                                                          graphene heat sink features

Compared with traditional heat sinks, graphene heat sinks have the following advantages:
Excellent thermal conductivity: Graphene is one of the currently known thermally conductive materials, with a thermal conductivity as high as 5000~6000 W/mK, so it has good heat dissipation performance and can transfer heat from the radiator faster.
Thin design: The thickness of graphene is only a few nanometers to several microns, which can realize thinner and lighter heat sink design, especially suitable for high-performance electronic devices and compact electronic devices.
High mechanical strength: Graphene has extremely high mechanical strength and toughness, which can better withstand the influence of vibration and external force and reduce the damage of radiator.
Corrosion resistance: Graphene has excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, and is not easily affected by corrosion.
Compares the thermal conductivity and thickness of conventional graphite materials with copper, aluminum and our graphene heat dissipation parts. Graphene Flower SP has 3 times higher thermal conductivity than aluminum, 2 times than copper, and can be 100 times thicker than conventional graphite.

However, graphene heat sinks also have some disadvantages:
High manufacturing cost: At present, the production process of graphene is still immature, and the production cost is high, so the price of graphene radiator is relatively expensive.
Poor stability: The stability of the graphene radiator needs to be further improved, especially in harsh environments such as high temperature and strong electromagnetic field.
High technical threshold: The production of graphene radiators requires professional manufacturing technology and equipment, which is difficult to manufacture and not all manufacturers can produce.
To sum up, graphene heat sinks have certain advantages, but there are still disadvantages such as high manufacturing cost and poor stability, which require continuous research and development to be applied in a wider range of fields.
