Mesocarbon Microbeads (MCMB) Graphite Micron Powder for Lithium Ion Battery

Lithium ion batteries has a lot of interest especially in recent years due to their superior properties like high energy densities, long cycle lives, and being friendly with environment. Lithium ion batteries are important power sources for electronic products, like cellular phones and laptop computers.
In lithium ion batteries carbon materials are generally used as anode materials because of their small surface change, structural stability during cycling and high energy density.
One of the carbon materials that is used in lithium ion batteries as anode material is mesocarbon microbeads. Mesocarbon Microbeads (MCMB) Graphite Micron Powder for Lithium Ion Battery are special kind of carbonaceous materials. Mesocarbon microbeads generally have spherical shape with the diameter of 1-50 µm and when mesocarbon microbeads are used as anode materials in lithium ion batteries, they can provide a reversible capacity of 300-340mAh/g and excellent cyclability which is a big advantage for the applications where high capacity is needed.
Another advantage of mesocarbon microbeads is that they can be in combination with silicon to have higher capacities and rechargeability. It is a fact that mesocarbon microbeads anode materials have the best cyclability among all the types of carbon anode materials. When we combine mesocarbon microbeads with silicon to obtain an anode material, we can obtain Silicon - mesocarbon microbeads composite material with high capacity and satisfactory rechargeability. So it is possible to extend the number of charging cycle of lithium ion battery by using silicon - mesocarbon microbeads composite anode material.

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle. Yanlin Song  and co-workers at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Shenyang Jianzhu University...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
