A scalable spray-drying method produces graphite, carbon nanotube, and silicon composite anodes that retain 95% capacity after 100 cycles in lithium-ion batteries.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for batteries thanks to the development of eco-friendly and electronically driven vehicles, and the growing usage of mobile phones, tablets and ...

Researchers have established the structure of a new form of carbon. The team used a novel computational method to demonstrate that the properties of what had previously been thought to be only a ...

Carbon nanotubes are available in single-walled, double-walled and mutli-walled variants. You can best see the structure of a singled-walled carbon nanotube as the wrapper of a one-atom-thick layer of ...

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 ...

As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, Ohio University researchers presented evidence this week for a new carbon solid they named "amorphous graphite." Physicist ...
