In a process that takes just seconds, James Tour ’s group at Rice University can transform discarded glass and coal waste to ...
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 ...
Biomass-derived carbon materials are poised to revolutionize oxygen electrocatalysis with their remarkable performance and cost-effectiveness. Despite the promising properties of these materials as ...
(Nanowerk News) In what should be a win-win-win for the environment, a process developed at Rice University to extract valuable metals from electronic waste would also use up to 500 times less energy ...
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 ...
Electronic waste (or e-waste) is not only a major pollutant in landfill, but huge amounts of useful resources are being thrown away. Engineers at Rice University have now shown that precious metals ...
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 ...
