Estonian company Up Catalyst just raised $4.3 million to make graphite with captured carbon. Graphite is used in lithium-ion batteries but it's currently mined or derived from fossil fuels. Check out ...

Yesterday's polluting fuel could be transformed into a valuable material for tomorrow's electric vehicle batteries, thanks to ...

As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, Ohio University researchers presented evidence this week for a new carbon solid they named "amorphous graphite." Physicist ...

A New Zealand startup is using wood to make synthetic graphite for EV batteries. CarbonScape uses leftover woodchips from timber making to produce batteries. Western nations are seeking alternatives ...

Why it matters: Graphite is the largest component in lithium-ion batteries by weight. Accounting for losses during the manufacturing process, it takes over 30 times more graphite than lithium to make ...

Turning plastic into solid carbon is not easy. Heat the polymers to rearrange their carbon atoms, and they decompose into light hydrocarbons and gases. But researchers at the US National Energy ...

The ORNL method can even make graphite with waste from coal processing and old mines, creating value while performing environmental restoration. "We are very excited because we have found a way to ...
