The demand for critical minerals is rising in support of the low-carbon energy transition, as well as global economic growth. Despite its hostile environment, the Arctic is a region with historic and existing mineral production. This paper assesses the potential of the Arctic to make a...

As tensions between the West and China deepen, critical minerals and materials for strategic technologies, including for low-carbon energy, have become one of the battlegrounds. China's centrality to the supply of some of these critical minerals and materials has prompted Western governments to...

Graphene is very exciting and one of the best materials in the last decade. The interest in producing non-expensive and high-quality graphene is of great interest to many Departments of materials and researchers worldwide. The main goal of this research considers the design, development, and...

Performances of spherical macrocapsules (nodules) currently used in latent heat-based thermal energy storage (TES) industrial units have been enhanced by the addition of graphite particles to the phase change material (PCM). Two different graphite types, namely graphite flakes (GF) and expanded...

An experimental study is presented on the cement mortar incorporated with expanded graphite (EG)/paraffin composite phase change material (PCM). The composite PCM was prepared by absorbing paraffin into EG with vacuum absorption method. The heat storage cement mortar (HSCM) with proper mass...
