It can recycle waste into valuable graphene; it can regenerate graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries; it can make low-cost hydrogen from plastic. It's the Flash Joule Heating process developed in ...

Batteries, batteries, batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the near-future’s biggest bet in the auto industry. Their production is expected to boost in the next years, driven by a fast increase in ...

D single-crystalline metal nanosheets are considered promising candidates for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Now, Researchers at Jeonbuk National University have developed a hierarchical porous ...

Chemists have processed waste plastic from end-of-life trucks into graphene for composite materials in new vehicles. The part of an old car that gets turned into graphene could come back as a better ...

Metallium’s goal of establishing a US critical minerals supply chain has passed a commercial milestone with the execution of ...

Next, utilizing a Rice-developed procedure called flash Joule heating, an electrical current is quickly passed through the soil/biochar mixture, heating it to a temperature of 1,000 to 3,000 ºC (1,832 ...

Joule heating, also known as resistive or Ohmic heating, is the power lost to heat as electrical current flows down a conductor. We were introduced to Joule’s first law (Power dissipation = I²R, VI, ...

The phenomenon is familiar: if you run an electric current through a wire, the wire heats up. Known as “Joule heating” (for James Joule, the physicist-brewer who quantified it in the 19th century), ...

The proposed innovation demonstrates multifunctionality in terms of efficient energy harvesting, EMI shielding, and Joule ...
