It can recycle waste into valuable graphene; it can regenerate graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries; it can make low-cost hydrogen from plastic. It's the Flash Joule Heating process developed in ...

Rapid carbothermal shock processing converts shredded wind turbine blade waste into high-purity silicon carbide and graphene, achieving tunable structures, strong performance, and major environmental ...

If humanity is ever going to curb our waste problem, we’ll need to get creative with recycling and reusing materials. In a new study, researchers at Rice University and Ford’s Research and Innovation ...

Graphene isn’t easy to produce at scale. But making small batches of graphene is doable in a few ways. [Robert Murray-Smith] decided to try producing “flash graphene.” This requires a big capacitor ...

Researchers have used a low-emissions method to harvest hydrogen and graphene from waste plastics. They say it not only solves environmental problems like plastic pollution and greenhouse gas ...

Chemists have processed waste plastic from end-of-life trucks into graphene for composite materials in new vehicles. The part of an old car that gets turned into graphene could come back as a better ...

HOUSTON – (Dec. 12, 2022) – How many rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are you wearing? How many are in your general vicinity? Probably more than a few, and they’re great for powering all the things ...

HOUSTON – (May 26, 2022) – The part of an old car that gets turned into graphene could come back as a better part for a new car. Rice University chemists working with researchers at the Ford Motor ...

A researcher at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) has created a new graphene-based image sensor that is highly sensitive to not only visible light, but infrared light too. This means it ...
