The batteries which use graphene as electrode material are called graphene batteries. Graphene as electrode material can be used in various type of conventional batteries such as lithium batteries, lead batteries, lithium sulfur and material for supercapacitors. The segments analyzed in the report are by battery type: Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries, Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) batteries, Supercapacitors, and Lead acid batteries. Graphene batteries are used in various industries such as automotive, electronics, aerospace and defense, energy & storage, industrial robotics, and healthcare. Applications further include various sub segments such as:

Directed energy weapons (DEWs) is largely defined as those weapons which produce high power beam of concentrated energy in the form of electromagnetic, atomic, and sub-atomic particles, which is used to damage or destroy objects or eliminate human adversaries. Directed energy weapon systems are primarily classified into three technologies: high-power laser, high-power microwave and neutral particle beam. High power laser technology contributed 88.68% of market share in 2019, but the growth of high-power microwave technology is expected to be high due to the inexpensive development and operation cost as compared to high power lasers. Moreover, neutral particle beam technology is currently in the theoretical stage and adequate research is needed for further development of the prototype.

Graphene, the first 2-D carbon material in the world, also known as the "wonder material," is well suited for many applications. Graphene is resistant to fire, an effective conductor, extremely versatile and 200 times stronger than steel and a substance of ultra-lightness. In addition, graphene is regarded in the chemical industry as an effective catalyst because of its properties such as high surface area and adsorption power. Growing demand for chemicals worldwide is expected to increase graphene demand and thus, drive the growth of the global graphene industry. The report on graphene exclusively focuses on current market trends and future growth opportunities of various types of graphene such as mono-layer & bi-layer graphene, few layer graphene, graphene oxide, and graphene nano platelets. Based on application, the market is divided into RFID, composites, sensors, research & development, energy storage, functional ink, and polymer additives. Based on region, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The propane is used as an alternative transportation fuel owing to the high-energy density, clean-burning qualities, and relatively low cost than gasoline, diesel fuel. As the gasoline prices are rising, propane offers viable option as an alternative-fuel source. For instance, on May 2019, the national average price per gallon of propane autogas was USD 1.45. The national average cost of regular grade gasoline was USD 2.86. Owing to such increasing price in the gasoline, the demand for propane is likely to increase in the transportation sector. Also, various proposals has been initiated to replace the diesel vehicles. For instance, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for USD 12,961,400 introduced for school bus replacements by replacing diesel school buses to propane school buses. Such initiatives are boosting the demand for the propane market over the forecast period. Furthermore, in the residential sector, propane is widely used for heating and powering certain appliances. Applications, such as barbeques, water heaters, clothes dryers, stoves, etc., run by propane. As propane is affordable, cleaner alternative to oil, cheaper than electricity and more effective than natural gas, the demand for propane in residential sector is surging.
