Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene represent two of the most striking functional materials. Due to their outstanding mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, these one- and two-dimensional ...

A KIER research team led by Dr. Yu-Jin Han and Dr. Sang-Hoon Park has developed a core technology to refine industrial graphite byproducts into high-purity anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, a ...

The Korea Institute of Energy Research (hereafter referred to as KIER) announced on September 11 that a research team led by Dr. Yujin Han and Dr. Sanghoon Park has developed a core technology that ...

Graphite beneficiation and purification remain pivotal to maximising the value and applicability of graphite in advanced technologies. A combination of physical and chemical processes – such as ...

Lithium-ion batteries are powering a revolutionary transition to electric vehicles. But booming battery use will eventually create a mountain of spent batteries—and very few are currently recycled. A ...

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for batteries thanks to the development of eco-friendly and electronically driven vehicles, and the growing usage of mobile phones, tablets and ...

Physicists in Uruguay and Brazil have succeeded in synthesising large quantities of magnetic graphite for the first time. The material made by Álvaro Mombrú and colleagues at the Universidad de la ...

RECENTLY we have obtained transmission patterns from graphite powders in which prominent extra rings appear ; owing to insufficient resolution these have hitherto escaped notice. Two of these rings ...
