OMG!! I am amazed you know about the share price of Zentech and the other graphene using companies. I do day trades for a living and I remember that day of that particular short squeeze. There were a lot of Covid supply plays but that news drop about the company making graphene coated face masks was just awesome. It squeezed so hard.
Hey Rob, thanks again for helping to keep everyone aware of the third type of people, Battery people. One I have been hoping to see you talk about has been the gmg or graphene manufacturing group. They have a few things which sound interesting but the graphene aluminum battery has neutoriously struggled with toxic/exotic electrolytes and that is the one thing the company hasn't really talked about. Have you looked into them at all?
I haven't looked into them specifically mate - I know they are Australian, have links to the University of Queensland and are touting aluminum ion - which I know well - but the company itself I don't know much about
@@ThinkingandTinkering I have looked into several graphene aluminum ion papers but I can't seem to find any with an electrolyte that isn't super chostic or super exotic. Are there other electrolytes that are feasible for graphene aluminum ion batteries?
Thanks for slamming Ghraphene, I was wanting to try to use in, but now? I have learned a lot from you in only one day of your videos, thanks so much for ur time....
Thanks for the explanation Rob, great to have your perspective given your background. As a well-known electric vehicle entrepreneur has (apparently) said, it is an order of magnitude harder to make the machine that makes the machine than to make the prototype of the machine.
I'd like to mention tetradymites: another interesting family of 2D materials that wasn't mentioned in the video. A lot of interesting interactions with carboxyl groups, topological insulating behavior, and thermoelectric behavior. there
Robert, this was a very good video not because it exposed me to borophene, which is cool, but because you ran down what happened to graphene. I think the problem with these exotic materials is that we have not changed our mindset of what they can be used for - how to make things out of graphene, carbon nanotubes and borophene. We need to change our way of thinking and I'm not just talking about the scientists out there... Thank you for creating these videos and sparking our curiosity.
I've just invented a brand new wonder material! It's called Cynicene. It has the great advantage, over Borocene and Graphene, of being almost completely impervious to hyperbolae.
Absolutely great content Rob, a friend of mine recently introduced me to your channel & I have loved every episode I’ve seen. One interesting experiment in regards to graphene was done by a team at the University of Arkansas who successfully developed a circuit capable of capturing graphene's thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current. They claim that this energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide low-voltage power for small devices or sensors. I’m not sure of the practicality of this concept but a graphene based difference engine is fascinating..., In regards to Borophine I would say as a whole Boron chemistry is a personal fascination of mine & Marion Frederick Hawthorne aka Mr. Boron happens to be a personal hero. From Borazon which is a brand name of a cubic form of boron nitride that is one of the hardest known materials comparable with many forms of diamond, all the way to boron fuel that is still used in rockets to this day or simply how for a Halloween display I once used boric acid to make a green fire the chemistry of boron is so diverse & complex there are actually theories of there being boron based extraterrestrial lifeforms out there in the galaxy.., a suggestion of a future episode for you to do Rob, would be a mini biography of Marion Frederick Hawthorne & the history of boron chemistry which way more fascinating than most realize.
I remember your classroom talk you posted years ago talking about how graphene sparking interest in 2d super material research. I'm happy for the hype if for no other reason than research going towards it. I hope scaling will happen on one of these someday
Those series of videos about overviews of upcoming technologies, big current issues, ... are very interesting. You also used to have videos about the process behind research, development and experimentation which were also great.
My understanding is that almost all of the issues are down to production. IE you can produce graphene in flakes about 0.5mm across easily. The bigger the flake the more difficult to build exponentially. IE a 10cm square is currently impossible.
EVERY single Turnigy graphene LiPo battery I owned has died - maybe 15 or so and only a couple of years old. Unlike one of my 12 year old Gens Ace batteries which was lost outside at Christmas in the snow for 2 months a few years ago and still works perfectly! They all have had the same maltreatment of course 😊
So will we see a series of videos examining and making borophene? The graphitic nitride from urea and sugar was interesting . Urea may cost three times more now.
You're on the ball, I was going to write you about Borophene. You explained it all so well, major point "instability." 7:41 ... I miss the "buckyball" hype, what to do with a ball of carbon?
The problem with these financial forecasts and expectations, is not that these materials aren't extremely useful... there's no way to mass produce it. I'm skeptical of borophene's properties and since I don't know how it's produced, I don't know how well it would fare.
I agree with you. I suspect that boron being more toxic to humans than graphene, will also make it less utilized. I am, however, looking forward to when dilithium crystals are mass produced... :-D
Always A1 content. To keep my⚡spark of interests charged. I once read a paper on producing carbon nanotubs from chicken feathers a time ago. But I believe they bake the feathers @800°~900° f or c, not sure And it naturally forms. I can't remember the full process at the moment. But thanks again of the interesting topics.
I read a few months ago that graphene could exploit the brownian motion of atoms as a source of energy. If that works, that would definitely be a game changer. Any cooling device would generate power instead of consuming it.
@@adamblackman6660 Not sure if the link passed, youtube tends to delete links for whatever reason. If you don't see the link, just search for "graphene brownian motion" on youtube, you have several videos talking about it.
@@ThinkingandTinkering Yes it's non electrically conductive but highly thermally conductive even at very high temps. I'm experimenting with it. If you ever need a little for testing something specific, let me know.
interested in hearing your thoughts on this. wondering what you think of mfgs of car care products already using Borophene as the new latest and greatest liquid coating to protect and apply to car paint. I believe it's all hyped up and that there probably is only .00001 percent borophene actually in the formula though they get away with calling it a Borophene coating. ?
Isn't the problem though that, the hype wasn't incorrect, it's just that we have no feasible way of making large sheets of graphene. None of these products that contain graphene contain a sheet of it they just contain many bits of it glued on as a surface coating or something. As such it's completely pointless because what we need, in order to exploit graphenes properties, are sheets of the material.
Funny, I was looking at a video about this about 6-7 hours ago. Graphene 1D, Boraphen 2D, so naturally I'm expecting a 3D next gen replacement with even better properties within the next few years. Is this probable or am I just hypothetically thinking wrongly?
Back when Robert was frequently playing with graphene and graphitic carbon nitride, I made those and some crude borophene to see if I could paint transistors using his conductive ink recipes. It worked to some extent, but not well enough yet to run out and get millions in VC funding. With some tedious work though, we could be printing and even 3d printing (just need a printable electrical insulator that conducts heat - perhaps graphitic B-N?) entire circuits within a few years. Anyone have ideas that might improve the P-N junctions produced using layered ink? Roller pressure maybe? I was trying to avoid a mechanical process like that because it might slow down 3d printing if it ever got that far
@Rick3y Rick3y Boron and Nitrogen can be the dopants in carbon based semiconductors. I made mine using sucrose + boric acid or urea in a microwave kiln. I considered using commercially available diamond powder and/or boron nitride as the thermal conductor and electrical insulator but am uncertain whether the diamond could break down into graphite when in contact with graphene or the boron nitride might cause unwanted localized doping. Clear ceramics would be interesting - like quartz and sapphire (SiO2 or AlO) for high temperature or rigid applications - you could print a cellphone in a single print that way (I have the color led dopants for graphene in my notes somewhere) but for now I'd be happy to print a cheap solar cell with built-in battery and circuitry. My working prototype is back to being a regular color printer again (Epson Ecotanks are hackably awesome BTW - we even made our own black light ink for Halloween party invitations) after we printed a working circuit on a piece of paper for my son's 5th grade science project - it wouldn't work great for the 3d stuff though due to alignment issues. Sadly more people were amazed by the hidden message blacklight ink. The coolest part about being able to print them on paper though is the Inspector Gadget self destruct feature that happened on my 1st attempt - it caught fire - that time was on accident but you _could_ do it on purpose. This message will self destruct in 5...
doing this stuff we have been doing recently with metal rectifiers has made me think a bit about that - it turns out with selenium and magnesium oxide in the selenium cell and copper sulphate cell respectively that the materials are essentially placed together and electro formed and it is the electroforming that creates the P-N junction - this seems like a thing that might help there
@@ThinkingandTinkering Some of his work in both MIT and Cornell involves using such materials and the use of lasers. He has created a line of ultra sensitive detectors that may have both military and medical uses. He has quite a record of publications.
This borophene material might not push graphene out of the picture - as it might very well be the thing needed to increase production of graphene, inc nanotubes. I know this might sound a bit off the wall...but I wonder what we'll find if they try to utilise the relatively high reproducible method of proliferating Borophene on silver, to help create some kind of bed for graphene production..? Will graphene stick to it..? will it peel off..? will the resulting material have electronic applications..? will the rough surface of some Borophene materials at the atomic scale lend useful attributes to graphene because of the larger surface area, and greater tensile strength over much greater areas...?
I am nitpicking, but there cannot exist a 2 dimensional material, since everything we can detect has 3 dimensions, even atoms that are a sheet, still has thickness of that one atom which is certain units of measurement. So that people do not get confused about the reality we are in even though we can only see 2 dimensions in everything. Would be quite confusing to see all 3 now wouldn't it.
strictly speaking you are correct, however, "2 dimensional" is a relative term and so needs to be seen in context. the term "2 dimensional" here refers to objects of macro scale, that is something atomic size or larger, in that context an array of atoms spread across the x and y axis covers 2 dimensions while layering those atoms along the z axis would now cover 3 dimensions, if however you go beyond the macro scale into subatomic, then the "2 dimensional" becomes "3 dimensional" as you said in your comment. so your comment is correct but somewhat out of context. :)
Does it matter? Specifically I am talking about the hype! If you look at the way it works at the moment someone comes up with something new (or spins an old thing)and the media jump all over it. The media coverage gets people interested in it and investment floods in and research progresses. But if the hype was lower do you think that the companies would still do the research but at a slower pace and thus be able to benefit from cross feeding ideas between the researchers? This may give an overall benefit we don't get today because everyone is wanting to be first!
still can't find away it's produced or any one selling it just research books on properties, at least with Graphene, they encourage people to figure out new ways to make it, and gave at least the scotch tape method to make it while giving other attempts now at days it is hidden for any real break through, and Borophene is discovered in this same mindset, I jumped on this band wagon to till I discovered nothing more then hype when looking to get or make it, you reminded me about it I checked to find some and it's the same story other then a few more sellers having copies of the same book of research I found before, so I am not jumping back on this hype wagon i'll bother when there is a reason
QUESTION 1 - What is the safe level, if known, of graphene oxide that can be injected into a person of any age? QUESTION 2 - Are/what are the adverse effects of having graphene oxide injected into a human body (of various ages)?
Graphene oxide in the blood is no bueno, basically would be like little razor blades to all your little vascular pathways. I think digestive ingestion wouldn't be quite so bad, but still probably not a good idea due to it's various properties.
@@ThinkingandTinkering it's just sad how little work is done with it. very little even though right off the bat they said it was a great solar hydrogen catalyst
Graphene is about as much a success as trying to build a car out of pudding. Can you build a car out of pudding ... well yes I suppose so but really what kind of car would that be.
Too bad borophene is so tough to mess with in any way. I'd sure like to see a substitute for silicon carbide in the Q-magnetics triboelectric generator tech. I assume graphene is the functional entity within the graphite sheets paired to said SiC. Per Robert's skepticism, I know the SiC-Graphite high-power output phenomenon was observed prior to 1970 (via an early form of TED conference.) It took that freaking long to invent the high-gain supporting electronics - 30 years is typical lag from groundbreaking lab discovery to practical availability, to say nothing of the long slope of market penetration and product maturation.
so.. does a cheap boron vegi capsule/powder produce a few layer Borophene in the green tea/microwave/diy super speed tesla turbine cleaving mixer for a copper| *Borophene| 10% water glass/concrete sealer| graphene*| ali 'practical' A4 battery/supercap *paper soaked/dipped. ohh catalytic, so finally cheap diy ho2 flow battery 'pem cell' on printed/embossed paper + pet vinyl coated channels... -at what 1.7v cm?- -3d print a simple vertical crosshatch 1mm deep embossing A4 template- thinking generic embossed wall paper machinery as a pilot line raw material -exterior 3ply painted power wall paper, applied by decorators +electricians, LED light strip copper plated carbon ink tab style ^_~ with solderable 1486 super wind turbine add-on's for extra boost wind reclamation charging is a breeze- see -carbon ink painted A4 capacitor- 'diy paper windmill' -kites-

Graphene is about as much a success as trying to build a car out of pudding. Can you build a car out of pudding ... well yes I suppose so but really what kind of car would that be.
It depends on the flavor of the pudding.
A chocoholic with a chocolate pudding car would be like; Car? What car? I don't see no car, do you see a car?
a sweet ride lol
"and how can ya have any pudding if ya don't eat your meat?"
Too bad borophene is so tough to mess with in any way. I'd sure like to see a substitute for silicon carbide in the Q-magnetics triboelectric generator tech. I assume graphene is the functional entity within the graphite sheets paired to said SiC. Per Robert's skepticism, I know the SiC-Graphite high-power output phenomenon was observed prior to 1970 (via an early form of TED conference.) It took that freaking long to invent the high-gain supporting electronics - 30 years is typical lag from groundbreaking lab discovery to practical availability, to say nothing of the long slope of market penetration and product maturation.
it does take a while that's for sure
Cool
cheers mate
Has anyone worked with Graphylon filament in 3D printing?
I haven't - I hope someone else has an helps you out - cheers
I am still waiting on some good info on siliphene since it could lead to the ultimate thin silicon solar cells LOL
could be a fair old wait mate lol
👍💪🙏
cheers mate
Oh and Santa isn't real...
Por favor subtitular video ..
sure
@@ThinkingandTinkering gracias es muy interesante tu trabajo.
Ok....
cheers
All hype but no results.
Graphene is coming off the 'Hype Cycle'.
Borophene: Rising on the 'Hype Cycle'.
@@mikegLXIVMM I suppose
indeed
so.. does a cheap boron vegi capsule/powder produce a few layer Borophene in the green tea/microwave/diy super speed tesla turbine cleaving mixer for a copper| *Borophene| 10% water glass/concrete sealer| graphene*| ali 'practical' A4 battery/supercap
*paper soaked/dipped.
ohh catalytic, so finally cheap diy ho2 flow battery 'pem cell' on printed/embossed paper + pet vinyl coated channels... -at what 1.7v cm?-
-3d print a simple vertical crosshatch 1mm deep embossing A4 template- thinking generic embossed wall paper machinery as a pilot line raw material -exterior 3ply painted power wall paper, applied by decorators +electricians, LED light strip copper plated carbon ink tab style ^_~ with solderable 1486 super wind turbine add-on's for extra boost wind reclamation charging is a breeze- see -carbon ink painted A4 capacitor- 'diy paper windmill' -kites-
Surprised you didn't mention NanoXplore. Their graphene battery premieres tomorrow at battery day
that's because they look like just another Canadian stock company - lots of self hype, lots of stock movement - I hate to say it but the Vancouver and Toronto stock exchanges are renowned worldwide for this kind of thing - sorry about that - they may well be real I guess we will see
