Researchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
As the nanocommunity celebrates the year since the pioneers of graphene won the Nobel Prize, NanoScienceWorks.org speaks with the co-editor of Graphene: Synthesis and Applications. This is first comprehensive book to look at the exciting industrial properties and promises of graphene’s planar sheet. Prof. Wonbong Choi is the Director of Nanomaterials & Device Laboratory at Florida International University’s Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering.
Rice University researchers have found a highly controllable way to attach organic molecules to pristine graphene. The work opens the door for a new class of chemical sensors, thermoelectric devices and metamaterials.
