Flash Joule heating (FJH) is a solid-state synthesis method in which a short, high-current electrical pulse passes through a resistive feedstock and heats it directly to extreme temperature in ...

It can recycle waste into valuable graphene; it can regenerate graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries; it can make low-cost hydrogen from plastic. It's the Flash Joule Heating process developed in ...

A research team at Rice University led by James Tour has developed a two-step flash Joule heating-chlorination and oxidation (FJH-ClO) process that rapidly separates lithium and transition metals from ...

Engineering silicon carbide (SiC) with tailored morphologies for electronics and structural reinforcement materials has always been a costly and time-consuming affair, but scientists can now do it in ...

Researchers developed a new method known as flash-within-flash Joule heating (FWF) that could transform the synthesis of high-quality solid-state materials, offering a cleaner, faster and more ...

Flash Joule Heating (FJH) has emerged as a transformative approach for the rapid, energy‐efficient conversion of diverse carbon feedstocks into graphene. By applying high‐voltage electrical pulses ...

Rare earth materials are a hot button topic these days. They’re important for everything from electric vehicles to defence hardware, they’re valuable, and everyone wishes they had some to dig up in ...

James Tour’s lab at Rice University has developed a new method called flash-within-flash Joule heating (FWF). This method has the potential to transform the synthesis of high-quality solid-state ...
