(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 ...

Traditional methods for making graphite involve heating premium needle coke and coal-tar pitch at temperatures above 3,000ºC in a process that requires several days of heating and cooling. A new ...

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 ...

Chemists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, as part of a scientific collaboration and with the support of the federal program of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation ...

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 ...

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, ...

Zentek wants to hop on the defence industry and critical minerals bandwagon by making a case to government funders with its Albany Graphite Project. They're out to promote it as a strategic asset for ...
