Research and Analysis of Graphene Coatings Based on Knowledge Mapping

Abstract

Graphene coating is a new type of coating made by using the unique structural properties of graphene. It has broad application prospects of anticorrosive coatings, conductive coatings and heat-dissipating coatings. In order to study the development of graphene coating technology research, we use CiteSpace information visualization software, based on the literature of 8 813 articles in the research and application of graphene coatings in Web of Science database from 2010 to 2018. From the perspective of literature measurement, we apply the knowledge map to research the national, discipline and related hotspot analysis of graphene coating research, cited literatures and research frontier status. By comparing and analyzing the literature information on the field of graphene coating research and application at home and abroad, the research progresses and development trend of graphene coatings can be evaluated from the disciplinary distribution and research fronts. It is pointed out that the wear resistance of graphene coatings is the focus of the future research.
