ORNL's coal-to-graphite project is supported by a diverse team of engineers, materials scientists and computational chemists across the laboratory. Researchers are developing and improving ...

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

Graphite is the most common, stable, crystalline form of carbon and has a wide variety of end uses in nuclear, automotive, and high-technology industries. For instance, in rechargeable lithium-ion (Li ...

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 ...

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 ...
