What is Flash Joule Heating, and what are its applications?
Flash Joule Heating is a method developed by James Tour's team to convert carbon-containing materials into graphene by applying a short, intense burst of electrical energy. This process is not only rapid but also scalable and cost-effective. Potential applications include:
Electronics: Producing high-quality graphene for use in flexible and wearable electronic devices. Composites: Enhancing the properties of materials by incorporating graphene, making them stronger and more conductive. Energy Storage: Improving the performance of batteries and supercapacitors by using graphene-based materials.
