Scientists develop a less-flammable lithium-ion battery that uses water. Researchers have developed a prototype lithium-ion battery that uses water as an electrolytic solution. The water replaces a flammable organic solvent. Do lithium batteries require water? 1. They Don’t Require Watering. … Continue reading →

Graphene has a lot of promise for additional applications: anti-corrosion coatings and paints, efficient and precise sensors, faster and efficient electronics, flexible displays, efficient solar panels, faster DNA sequencing, drug delivery, and more. Why graphene is not widely used? Reasons … Continue reading →

The forces between the layers in graphite are weak. This means that the layers can slide over each other. This makes graphite slippery, so it is useful as a lubricant . Why is graphene slippery? Surprisingly slippery They believe this … Continue reading →

However, at room temperature, graphene oxide has been demonstrated to be metastable and begins to decompose at a lower temperature (50°C) [13,14]. Furthermore, because graphene oxide has a large specific surface area, it can easily absorb moisture in air. Does … Continue reading →
