Mechanochemistry–the utilization of mechanical forces to induce chemical reactions–is a
rarely considered tool for polymer synthesis. It offers numerous advantages such as reduced …

Carbon Black (CB) is one of the most abundantly produced carbon nanostructured
materials, and approximately 70% of it is used as pigment and as reinforcing phase in …

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized battery technology. However, the scarcity of lithium
in nature is driving the search for alternatives. For that reason, sodium-ion batteries have …

From a sustainability and economic point of view, lignin is a potential biopolymer that can be
used as an electrode and electrolyte source for renewable energy applications. In this work …

Defective few-layered graphene mesostructures (DFLGMs) are produced from graphite
flakes by high-energy milling processes. We obtain an accurate control of the generated …

Carbon black (CB) is a diverse and interesting material from an industrial point of view,
mainly as component of composites, reinforcing material, and as a pigment. These matrices …

One of the limitations of conventional carbon-supported Pt electrocatalyst in Proton
Exchange Membrane Fuel cell (PEMFC) is the carbon corrosion during start-up and shut …

In this work, novel procedures are developed to measure in-plane and through-plane
electronic conductivities of catalyst layers (CLs) for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells …

A sustainable and green method is presented in this paper to produce highly oxidized
carbon black using dry ball milling. The mechanical energy by colliding milling balls is able …

Abstract Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) chains were covalently grafted onto carbon black (CB)
using a PEG-terminated trimethoxysilane, yielding PEGylated CB additives (CB-SiPEG) with …
