(Image credit: Giannelis Group) Researchers create a form of carbon with an incredible surface area This could allow the material to trap more substance including various chemicals Hypergolics are widely use in jet propulsion Researchers at Cornell University have developed a nanoporous carbon material with the highest surface area ever reported. The breakthrough uses a chemical reaction akin to rocket fuel ignition and could be used to improve carbon-dioxide capture and energy storage technologies, potentially advancing the next generation of batteries. Increasing the porosity of carbon is key to enhancing its performance in applications such as pollutant adsorption (where […]
