On November 28, the opening ceremony of Zhongyuan Graphene Laboratory was held in the Aviation Port area. Henan Provincial Party Secretary Lou Yangsheng attended and delivered a speech, and Henan Provincial Governor Wang Kai attended.

Lou Yangsheng unveiled the Zhongyuan Graphene Laboratory, and Wang Kai awarded the appointment letter of director of Zhongyuan Graphene Laboratory to Liu Zhongfan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Liu Zhongfan introduced the general situation and development concept of the laboratory.

On behalf of the provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, Lou Yangsheng congratulated the establishment of the laboratory, and thanked the Central Committee of the Jiusan Society and academician experts for their concern and support for the development of Henan. He said that the opening of the Zhongyuan Graphene laboratory is of great significance for Henan Province to strengthen the research and development and industrial application of graphene and build a strong province of materials. A major feature of the establishment of the Zhongyuan Graphene Laboratory is to simultaneously land Zhongyuan ene Carbon Co., LTD., Zhongyuan ene carbon Industry Fund, to build a trinity of “science and technology + industry + capital” industrial innovation closed loop, with the laboratory as the “foundation”, industrial companies as the “backbone”, and incubation projects as the “branches and leaves”, to cultivate a competitive and leafy Zhongyuan graphene industry tree. It is hoped that Zhongyuan Graphene Laboratory will live up to its trust and fulfill its mission, take innovation and creation as the starting point and the product industry as the starting point, combine science and technology and industry more closely, and strive to become a strategic scientific and technological force in the field of graphene materials and an important supporting force for the construction of a strong province of Henan materials.

Lou Yangsheng stressed that the Central Plains Graphene Laboratory should focus on the world’s scientific and technological frontier, the major national needs and the development needs of our province, carry out application scenario research and engineering verification, and strive to break through the key common technologies for the large-scale preparation of graphene materials, forming a number of landmark innovation achievements and typical applications. It is necessary to systematically sort out and integrate high-quality research and development resources, educational resources, and industrial resources, strengthen collaborative innovation, strengthen organized, systematic, and full-link technology research capabilities, and accelerate the solution of technical and process problems in the field of graphene materials. It is necessary to improve the result transfer and transformation, venture capital service system, through the graphene industrial chain, innovation chain, capital chain, improve the service capacity of the whole chain, and promote the graphene industry to become bigger and stronger. It is necessary to build a bridge linking “material” and “market”, and build a demonstration application industry chain of graphene materials in combination with the industrial advantages of new energy vehicles, consumer electronics manufacturing, and wind power new energy in Henan Province. It is necessary to thoroughly study and grasp the law of scientific research activities and the law of talent growth, optimize the mode of operation and the paradigm of scientific research, improve the flexible market-oriented mechanism for attracting and cultivating talents, and build a dynamic new type of research and development institutions, so as to make contributions to promoting the self-reliance and self-improvement of high-level science and technology.
