US unlocks graphene oxide and hydrogen from natural gas for batteries and electronics
SMRTR summary
Scientists at Texas A&M University accidentally discovered a new way to make graphene oxide — a high-value material used in batteries, electronics, and coatings — directly from natural gas. Using a plasma-based process with methane, they also generate clean hydrogen as a byproduct. The method is reportedly the first scalable approach of its kind, potentially cutting production costs and reducing reliance on imported graphite.
