(Nanowerk News) Natural graphite, used as the precursor for graphene oxide production, is a highly ordered crystalline inorganic material, which is believed to be formed by decay of organic matter. It ...

A plastic bottle tossed into a recycling bin could one day help power an electric vehicle, smartphone or renewable energy storage system, according to a team of Penn State researchers.

Porous nanostructured microspheres made of copper, iron, and iron oxide were used by an international research team as negative anode material in lithium-ion batteries. The new technique is claimed to ...

That empty plastic water bottle sitting in your recycling bin might have a second life ahead of it, one that involves powering an electric vehicle, a smartphone or even a renewable energy storage ...

Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce reliance on mining graphite, the raw source behind the "wonder material" graphene. In the journal Small, researchers at KTH Royal Institute ...

Graphene oxide (GO, product number 763705) is an exceptional material observed as a solitary monomolecular layer of graphite with numerous oxygen encompassing functionalities like epoxide, carbonyl, ...

The video shows the surface of a material that was originally graphite, and how its appearance changes in waves. Above the footage, changes in voltage are displayed. When the voltage is high, many ...
