Graphite Powders as Anode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries

The lithium ion batteries are interested nowadays because of their high capacity and being environmentally friendly. Lithium ion batteries are one of the most important power sources and they are widely used in laptop computers and mobile phones due to their high energy density. Lithium ion batteries are also effective for using in hybrid electric vehicle. Of course in this kind of applications large size of lithium batteries are used.
As all we may know lithium ion batteries are consist of two parts; cathode and anode. When we look at the researches about the anode part of lithium ion batteries, we can see that in this studies it is aimed to improve material capacity and cyclability.
To get better result for improving capacity and cyclability, graphite powders can be used in lithium ion batteries as anode materials. Graphite anodes provide efficiency, reversible capacity and cycle stability to lithium ion batteries when they are used as anode materials. Also it is possible to improve the properties of lithium ion batteries by using graphite powders with the higher graphitization degree, higher purity, more suitable particle size distribution.
So far so good, it is also possible to have more improved performance from graphite powders. If you treat graphite powder with oxidative solutions of hydrogen peroxide, cerium sulfate, nitric acid and ammonium persulfate, the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries will improve.
Cycle numbers of lithium ion batteries with graphite anode materials may be a problem sometimes but there is a solution for that. To improve the cycle numbers of these kinds of batteries, graphite powders may be coated by aluminum fluoride. The aluminum fluoride coating will not change the properties of graphite but there will be a significant increase in the capacity and cycle number in lithium ion battery.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...
