Elemental Recycling Offers Abundant, CO2e-neutral Graphite, Graphene, and Hydrogen
Plastics recycling, especially for mixed and contaminated plastics, remains a major pollution concern. At the same time but seemingly unrelatedly, we need more plentiful and sustainable sources of graphene (useful for everything from solar cells to battery storage) and graphite (a key component of lithium-ion batteries). What if one technology could address both challenges? When Ian Bishop and Ron Presswood first brought their idea for a recycling process that would create carbon and hydrogen to a professor at a Tier One University, they were told it was scientifically impossible.
