Graphene is a thing of the past, multi-purpose titanium dioxide may replace it

Graphene is known as the "most useful material in the world" for its wide range of applications, but according to foreign media reports, a new material, "Multi-use Titanium Dioxide", may replace it. The research was completed by a team of scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The core of the research is to convert cheap titanium dioxide crystals into a nanofiber. This nanofiber will be made into a flexible filtration membrane together with other materials. The "other materials" here can be copper, zinc, carbon and other substances, depending on its final use.

Multipurpose titanium dioxide has a wide range of uses. It can be used to improve battery life, purify water quality, and manufacture antibacterial medical materials. Currently, the research and development team is setting up a spin-off company to better carry out the next step of development. In addition, they are also looking for partners to commercialize this new technology.
