Scientists have managed to successfully convert raw coal powder into nano-graphite, which is used in lithium-ion batteries, among other things, according to a study, “Converting raw coal powder into ...

ORNL researchers are exploring two ways to transform coal into graphite. One uses coal char, a solid byproduct, while the other utilizes coal liquids. By heating coal without oxygen, researchers ...

(Nanowerk News) Using copper foil, glass containers and a conventional household microwave oven, University of Wyoming researchers have demonstrated that pulverized coal powder can be converted into ...

Researchers at the University of Wyoming were looking for new ways to use coal, especially coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, as demand for the coal to generate electricity declines due to ...

An international team of researchers demonstrated that pulverized coal powder can be converted into high-value nano-graphite in just 15 minutes. In a microwave oven, sparks are generated inside a ...

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 ...

In a microwave oven, sparks are generated inside a glass vial containing coal powder and copper foil as part of an experiment by UW researchers. They successfully converted the coal powder to ...

Researchers created an environment in a microwave oven to successfully convert raw coal powder into nano-graphite, which is used as a lubricant and in items ranging from fire extinguishers to lithium ...

LARAMIE – University of Wyoming researchers have demonstrated that pulverized coal powder can be converted into higher-value nano-graphite in a microwave oven. The discovery is another step forward in ...
