2017 has been a busy year for graphene and we are seeing clear indications that graphene adoption and commercialization is finally underway across many industries. Read here Graphene-Info’s top 10 graphene application of 2017…
The engineering of cooling mechanisms is a bottleneck in nanoelectronics. Thermal exchanges in diffusive graphene are mostly driven by defect-assisted acoustic phonon scattering, but the case of high-mobility graphene on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is radically different, with a prominent contribution of remote phonons from the substrate.
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes or modified graphene nanoribbons could be effective, less costly replacements for expensive platinum in fuel cells, according to a new study. In fuel cells, platinum is used for fast oxygen reduction, the key reaction that transforms chemical energy into electricity.
There is an astonishing amount of work being done on graphene around the world. Nearly twenty five thousand scientific papers were published in 2016 alone, (the data for 2017 will be available soon). That’s over sixty-five papers each day, every day of the year.
