Graphite is an incredibly important, versatile mineral, with uses spanning industries. Graphite is an essential component of many batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, and demand is only ...

A new material structure generates steam by soaking up the sun. The structure -- a layer of graphite flakes and an underlying carbon foam -- is a porous, insulating material structure that floats on ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 227, No. 1170 (Jan. 20, 1955), pp. 349-358 (10 pages) A three-dimensional tight-binding model of graphite ...

A University of Washington-led team has discovered that, by stacking a sheet of graphene onto bulk graphite at a small twist angle (top), “exotic” properties present at the graphene-graphite interface ...

Miriam Rossi, a professor of chemistry at Vassar College, provides the following explanation: Both diamond and graphite are made entirely out of carbon, as is the more recently discovered ...

Researchers have found a way to prevent lithium plating in electric vehicle batteries, which could lead to faster charging times. According to the new study, lithium plating can be significantly ...
