- Scientists at Rice University are using high-energy pulses of electricity to turn any source of carbon into turbostratic graphene in an instant. The process promises environmental benefits by turning waste into valuable graphene that can then strengthen concrete and other composite materials.

Some of the gases produced can also be captured and used as they are also valuable products!
135 comments in ten months for a major economic breakthrough, the student did great work but have you really got your best people on it now ?
It could also be used to destroy toxic waste products.
carbon based toxic waste...
And destroy the planet and humanity as well
@@PerfectTen10s How could it possibly do that?
the handiwork of beloved James Tour and his collegues!
imagine condoms made of graphene
🤣🤣🤣Now every woman can get fked with a black dik😂
Maybe one day they could dispose of all solid waste this way, What if they could mine landfills and flash the waste into valuable products. Like a Mr. Fusion in "Back to the Future".
Yes this is possible today. In fact the paper demonstrates this
We're gonna end up with a lot of graphene! Question is how much energy is necessary to produce the end product?
Yeah I hope this will provide incentive to clean up landfills and reduce air and water pollution. Then I hope something is invented to help clear up areas like Chernobyl quicker, seems like something we should already have.
This is really exciting! Does anyone know if the elements that are separated from the carbon atoms have to be captured to not further greenhouse emissions?

Either I'm physic or Google ai is starting to post the things in thinking quietly in my brain.
Just 30 mins ago i was wondering the possibilities of graphene mixed with other materials and concrete was the thought that stuck...... Here we are..
It's just algorithm patters, is how social media can predict/control behaviors... just math science haha.
They're called composite materials, they've been around for a while.
Hempcrete/graphene composite would be something I'd like to test.
The thoughts your thinking are not yours and not yours alone. They existed before you and your only regurgitating what youve been fed, baby bird. 😉
Ok. How do you invest into this?
paul maydaynight how does this hep with investment/turning a profit off said investments?
@@paulmaydaynight9925 I've been looking for this for 6 months, thanks!
Material science companies
I got PayPal
Where can I buy stocks in this
Cool Content...
So how much current to scale up to make a lump of turbostratic graphite the size of a basketball?
Three years in and less than 200 comments and no way to invest in this company. Something doesn't add up.
Okay, here me out.
Flash Graphene production. What if you were to use the 200 volt current in a highly precise manner? Additive manufacturing AKA 3D printing.
Could this same heat requirements be 'flashed' with a laser for even greater precision?
No.
That's a great idea. I'm not sure it would work though. You could probably form very imprecise basic shapes, but nothing all that precise due to 2 reasons.
1. The produced graphene is a powder, I doubt you'd yield a solid 3D shape, rather a pile of graphene powder in a specific shape
2. In the reaction, the byproduct gases would create an immense high pressure region in the newly reformed/reforming graphene, which would shoot out in all directions, sweeping up graphene powder with it. In the tube set up Rice University outlines, this isn't really an issue, as the gas is vented out the ends and the bulk of the graphene is contained. But in an open set up like you describe, that graphene powder would be free to shoot out in all directions all over the workspace.
I could be wrong though, I'm only a senior high school student (as of typing this), so take this with a grain of salt.
It just sounds too good
Does, sounds like bollocks. I want to see it done IRL.
It’s scientifically proven to work.
Is it possable to use conductive material like graphite between the two electrods gap or it must be a non conductive carbon?
I wouldn't know for sure, (I'm no professional yet). But I doubt it would work with conductive carbon. Because flash graphene utilises resistive heating to produce the immense flash of heat.
Resistive heating only really occurs when electricity travels through insulators. If the electricity travelled through something conductive (like graphite), there would be a smidgen of heat generated due to the miniscule resistance of graphite, but nowhere near enough to obliterate the graphite's molecular bonds, meaning graphene couldn't be produced.
I need to figure out how to diy this process!
Let me know when you figure it out
Honestly it doesn't seem like a very complicated process. All you really need is electrodes (i.e. copper) and 200v. Seems easy enough. I'll attempt to diy it myself this month.
@@Luda_chris Good luck! I'm right there with you!
Please document it fellas
@@Luda_chris correct,... two electrodes in between a carbon material (carbon black) and 200V. The power is applied in pulses.
Is their any patents to read on this? Or has this been left largely as an "open-source" type idea? I'd really like to experiment with it - if I can do so without getting whacked on it later. More so on electronics/power storage side of things rather than industrial additives.
Welcome any knowledge folks may have!
Read the paper on this first and yes, they do have a patent. But I'm not sure that means you can't get to work for personal experiments. Did you ever try anything?
Can graphite be used in this process? (I think so, but would like confirmation please.)
you would need carbon

I'm designing robots to scale this technology up! I don't care if i have to create a company to do it!
Good luck
have you tried Gases? Burn Coal to generate power, Capture the off Gas and Flash the CO/CO2 for Graphene? Or a bio reactor(making fertilizer and power) harvest methane, flash the methane?
Take a look at Graphene Manufacturing Group. I think you'll find them interesting. * Fair disclosure: I did invest there, and I'm not hiding that. Their lubricants are JUST hitting the market.
I’m assuming you have to take your feedstock to the micron level to do this
No.
I was talking about the testing, I figured it would create a more uniform result
Not to be gross, but couldn't we use this on raw sewage?
Yeah and I’d also assume you could buy trash from the dump.
the flash doesn't produce any gas?
EDIT: it "emits all noncarbon elements as gas."
Water vaper
@@KManAbout water, sulfur, cyanide... whatever's in there I take it
Comment je peux avoir cet appareil qui tranforme les déchets en Graphène?
Un tube de verre, des électrodes et une banque de capaciteurs avec une "gate" de 5ms. Nighthawkinlight en a fait une demonstration avec son prototype DIY perso.
Is turbostratic graphene in a powder form or like a sheet of paper?
Powder form as i understand it from another video i watched about this.
I'm kimda worried by the use of large quantities of graphene in industrial products and his effects on the human body. Is there any research paper on the matter?
Yeah, somehow humans would digest industrial products on a daily basis
Pure carbon isn't harmful to (most?) life on Earth
Ignorant fool, it happens daily from food processing plants to markets
@@Typical.Anomaly graphene might not be toxic, but it can destroy the cell walls due to its shape
Here is the DIY process, including, materials used. static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41586-020-1938-0/MediaObjects/41586_2020_1938_MOESM1_ESM.docx
Thanks sir.
присоединяюсь к благодарностям
And what about other element in those waste (eg. those in coals) what's happens to them?
ytrew there would need to be additional processes but some would “ablate” and others could be collected
@@blainevans7047 "ablate"? Do you mean evaporate?
ytrew look up laser ablation aircraft sorry I just fought that...laser ablation can reach 25000F
Coal is just carbon so nothing
The K are you trolling? Coal is mostly carbon...but there are many assemblies and MANY other elements
Wow.
Maybe you can answer. How much graphene is in one kilo of graphite?
32.1486
Is it similar to plasma pyrolysis?
Yeah - I reckon this would make ash not graphene. Or in this case charcoal given there's no oxygen.
You clearly did not watch the video.
I can imagine a 'sprayer' that powder coats stuff / with graphene created on the fly
please tell me fg dissolves in ordinary water?
Pretty sure it doesn't. It's quite insoluble as far as i'm aware
It wouldn't be valuable as a building material if it dissolved.
Can you make graphene from air?
This is a very good question! That would be the 5G of graphene I guess
From CO2 maybe
Potentially. Carbon capture technology is currently in development to draw carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it into either pure carbon, or even hydrocarbons like gasoline and kerosene. Using carbon capture tech and this new graphene production process could let us literally make graphene out of thin air.
I have but one question. What else can we transform by moving matter with electricity. This is the tip of a world saving iceburg
Agreed. Maybe it could revert metal oxides back into metals.
2 birds 1 stone. Solve global climate change by turning co2 into graohene
@@theflyingwelshman5338 Yes, that's how aluminium is refined commercially. That's one of two ways green steel is made. I believe copper is refined this way, and *maybe* gold too
@@hugofolpp1753 the problem is that they use carbon electrodes, which degrade and produce carbon dioxide.
It would be great if it could work using The Kelvin water dropper,
imagine water and gravity making graphene out of rubbish.
No.
a year old and still not mass producing it
OK I know where there's a supply of 70 billion metric tonnes a year, if that can be handled :-)
Look at the graphene structure, 6 points, 6 lines, and many of these sixes. That's the mark of the beast 666. Also what can cause pain (Revelation 16:10) and “a noisome and grievous sore” (Revelation 16:2)? Only something medicinal can cause these. Not a chip implant. Also human body is 18% carbon. So therefore "a man's number" is also 666. (Revelation 13:18）“The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before that great and notable Day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
--Acts 2:20-21
Stretching.
i think its more like 2 million watts!
I think 200V are fairly realistic, but will take some amount of amps. This is similar if you connect two carbon rods to 12V battery and then you put this two carbon electrodes together,... you get strong flash. But here is used way higher voltage and also the power is applied in pulses. The carbon material is between two electrodes.
cayrex2 yes actually under vaccum spark gaps can be made significantly wider! 2 million watts?
@@Buzzhumma do you think that the carbon material is in the vaccum? On the other hand makes sense.
@@Buzzhumma in this method they uses high heat to break the layers of carbon. High heat and then cool down,.... thats why they make pulses. If you play with two carbon rods and a battery,... you also create really high heat.
cayrex2 yes for sure. And that also allow them to capture the gases formed ! Like a crt tv monitor . It is under vacumm to allow the electrons to easily pass to the front phosphorous glass !
