The Green Technocrat

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post which discussed some recent advances in the synthesis of graphene.  In case you are wondering, graphene is a one atom thick sheet of carbon that forms a crystal structure similar to honeycomb.  The potential uses of graphene in the cleantech industry are endless, from building ultracapacitors, [...]

ScienceDaily (Sep. 17, 2008) — Engineers and scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have achieved a breakthrough in the use of a one-atom thick structure called “graphene” as a new carbon-based material for storing electrical charge in ultracapacitor devices, perhaps paving the way for the massive installation of renewable energies such as wind [...]
