The Berkeley team explored the interaction of graphene as a solid liquid interface for water and a common battery electrolyte fluid. “How a liquid interacts with the surface of a solid is important in batteries and fuel cells, chemical production, corrosion...Oct, 28 2019 | News, Research
The trick in developing the new highly sensitive, but uncooled infrared detector was engineering the two-dimensional nanomaterial graphene into a material that can carry an electric current. The device is not commercially available but could one day be integrated into...
