In open-pit mining operations, a larger energy consumption comprises the comminution processes. Therefore, blasting operations for rock fragmentation contribute to improving comminution efficiency, particularly in hard rock mines. Several factors control rock fragmentation pertaining to blasting and
Automated machinery can be used over prolonged periods compared to human workers, resulting in improved productivity and making mine staff available for other complex tasks.
The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
In a paper recently published in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems, researchers developed a quality assurance (QA) system to demonstrate a You-Only-Look-Once architecture (YOLO architecture) to identify visually detectable defects on electrode sheets.
In a paper recently published in the journal ACS Energy Letters, researchers reviewed and summarized molecular modeling and synthesis approaches used for advancements in the engineering of Y-series-based polymer acceptors to attain power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) over 18% in all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs).
