Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion batteries could be produced by harnessing previously overlooked high pressures generated during the manufacturing process. Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion ...

Researchers have pioneered a simple, but efficient and eco-friendly way to produce Edge-selectively functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (EFGnPs) by dry ball milling graphite in the presence of ...

There are a number of methods of making carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fullerenes. Fullerenes were first observed after vaporizing graphite with a short-pulse, high-power laser, however this was not a ...

Smashing compounds together to get them to polymerize sounds more like desperation than effective organic chemistry. But chemists Timothy M. Swager of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Jens B.

Researchers at Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials have discovered a new method, “ball milling,” to store gas in a special nanomaterial at room temperature. The method relies on mechanochemical ...

Laboratory ball mills are a key component in the battery production value chain. They are used in several key application areas across research and development, manufacturing, and quality control ...

A reactor that uses steel balls to smash together nitrogen, hydrogen, and an iron catalyst can produce a continuous stream of ammonia, even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The discovery ...

Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion batteries could be produced by harnessing previously overlooked high pressures generated during the manufacturing process. Scientists at the University of ...
