Carbon spheres - small spherical structures that have found large applications in carbon capture and energy storage - can now be created faster and more sustainably in a novel technique developed by researchers.
A team from Swansea University in the United Kingdom has devised a way for fast, green, and one-step production of porous carbon spheres. Additionally, spheres produced from this method supposedly have good carbon capture capacities and retain efficiency even at larger scales.
The new technique is built upon and significantly improves on the chemical vapor deposition - a commonly-used technique in fabricating 2D nanomaterials, as well as carbon spheres. The Swansea University team published their report in the journal Carbon, included in its Volume 171, January 2021 issue.
