Discarded Phone Batteries Turned Into Water-Purifying Carbon
47+ min ago (607+ words) Every year, millions of lithium-ion batteries reach the end of their lives, and most of the graphite inside them is quietly thrown away....
Flower-Powered Carbon Doped With Manganese Boosts Supercapacitors and Solar
2+ hour, 6+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...
Microbes Turn Renewable Electricity and CO2 Into Valuable Chemicals
2+ hour, 9+ min ago (696+ words) Scientists at Pusan National University have published a comprehensive review showing that microorganisms wired directly to electrical circuits could become the backbone of a carbon-negative chemical industry. In a paper in the journal Advances in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Chang…...
Discarded Lithium-Ion Batteries Brought Back to Life With Thermochemical
2+ hour, 43+ min ago (641+ words) Every electric vehicle that rolls off an assembly line today carries within it a promise of cleaner transportation and, eventually, a difficult waste problem. Lithium-ion batteries degrade with use, and when they can no longer hold enough charge to propel…...
Paper bags and cardboard boxes normally headed for the trash were carbonized into anodes for lithium-ion batteries, and the resulting electrodes survived 1,200 charge cycles — roughly twice the durability of anodes used in current phone batteries
