Has there been any commercial use case for graphene yet?

I feel as though I've been hearing about its potential constantly for many years, but can't recall any commercial use cases yet.

(side note - it also reminds me of the many hours I spent using the scotch tape method and looking at my chip under microscope to try and identify graphene...)

Apparently it’s already being used for supercapacitors: https://newatlas.com/adgero-ultracapacitor-trailer-kers/4299...
Graphene can be used to detect molecules in the air which has applications in air pollution monitoring. https://phys.org/news/2016-04-graphene-based-sensor-air-poll...
