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

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 ...

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), ...

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 ...

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 electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into high-value chemicals and fuels offers a promising strategy for addressing the global energy crisis and worsening environmental issues. However, ...

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 ...

The clean-up of viscous crude-oil spills is a global challenge. Hydrophobic and oleophilic oil sorbents have been demonstrated as promising candidates for oil-spill remediation. However, the sorption ...

Electropulsing treatment (EPT) is a state-of-the-art technology for rapidly heating metallic materials. The highly ...
