The Hummers' method is commonly used to produce graphene. In this process, KMnO4 and NaNO3 are dissolved in concentrated H2SO4 for effective oxidation, causing the graphene layers to be scraped off of graphite oxide. There are numerous ways to modify the Hummers' method depending on the applica...
Surface contamination by polymer residues has long been a critical problem in probing graphene's intrinsic properties and in using graphene for unique applications in surface chemistry, biotechnology, and ultrahigh speed electronics. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a macromolecule commonly used for ...
1880, was created in response to public awareness of contaminated drinking water in Britain. Today, the Royal Doulton company is better known for its fine china but still produces ceramic and carbon filters. Doulton USA Clay ceramic filters work in a fashion similar to the desalination ...

Carbon materials including graphite, carbon black, carbon nanotubes and graphene are very promising electrode materials for PSCs55,56,57,58. Light soaking stability Light soaking stability is the most basic and most important indicator for solar cells. Currently, as the stability of perovskite has ...
PNNL researchers are studying different materials that might conduct electricity efficiently, even in high temperatures. For instance, a teamrecently foundthat adding a small amount of graphene—a different version of the graphite found in pencils—to copper wiring can preserve its ability to conduct ...
There is a lot of confusion about Graphene oxide (GO). There was an experimental GO that was begin developed. Something to replace the toxic Lipid Nano Particles (LNP) It was all black/grey, because carbon is black. It may not be toxic, because graphite pencils are ...
In this charged-up state, the battery is effectively a multi-layer sandwich: graphene layers alternate with lithium ion layers. As the battery discharges, the ions migrate from the graphite electrode to the cobalt-oxide electrode (from left to right). When it's fully discharged, all the ...
Lithium is the metal of choice for many solid-state batteries due to the element's high energy density and low binding energy. Structurally, these widely used batteries use lithium ions (Li+) in their cathode and electrolyte, while their anode is often made of graphite or silicon. Why lithiu...
Graphene may be among the most exciting scientific discoveries of the last century. While it is strikingly familiar to us—graphene is considered an allotrope of carbon, meaning that it essentially the same substance as graphite but in a different atomic structure—graphene also opened up a new ...
