Research shows that “Hemp fibres ‘better than graphene'”. \u00a0\u00a0 Scientists have made graphene-like materials for a thousandth of the price – and with waste. \u00a0\u00a0They “cooked” cannabis bark into carbon nanosheets and built supercapacitors,\u00a0high-performance energy storage devices, which are “on a par with or better than graphene” – the industry gold standard.\u00a0 Graphene is too expensive to produce, but “hempene” will not be.\u00a0 A great illustration of cradleto-cradle design and looking to nature for answers.<\/p>\n
Scientists presented their work at the American Chemical Society meeting<\/a> in San Francisco and have described the device in the journal ACS Nano.<\/a><\/p>\n The hemp is perfectly legal to grow. It has no THC in it at all, so there’s no overlap with any medical or recreational activities.<\/p>\n BBC: Hemp fibres ‘better than graphene’<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Research shows that “Hemp fibres ‘better than graphene’”. \u00a0\u00a0 Scientists have made graphene-like materials for a thousandth of the price – and with waste. \u00a0\u00a0They “cooked” cannabis bark into carbon nanosheets and built supercapacitors,\u00a0high-performance energy storage devices, which are “on a par with or better than graphene” – the industry gold standard.\u00a0 Graphene is too …
