Graphite is an incredibly important, versatile mineral, with uses spanning industries. Graphite is an essential component of many batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, and demand is only ...

Figure 1: Synthesis of monolithic graphene–graphite structures using heterogeneously patterned metal catalyst films. Figure 2: Synthesis and electrical characteristics of monolithic graphene–graphite ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Graphite is a key structural component in some of the world’s oldest nuclear reactors and many of the next-generation designs being built today. But it also condenses and swells in ...

A University of Washington-led team has discovered that, by stacking a sheet of graphene onto bulk graphite at a small twist angle (top), “exotic” properties present at the graphene-graphite interface ...

A new material structure generates steam by soaking up the sun. The structure -- a layer of graphite flakes and an underlying carbon foam -- is a porous, insulating material structure that floats on ...

Researchers have found a way to prevent lithium plating in electric vehicle batteries, which could lead to faster charging times. According to the new study, lithium plating can be significantly ...

Researchers have showcased that burned rice hulls may help towards a sustainable energy future. It turns out that properly processed rice hull ash can yield a carbon form, which could outperform ...
