Comparative LCA of different graphene production routes (2017)
Journal Article
Cossutta, M., McKechnie, J., & Pickering, S. J. (in press). Comparative LCA of different graphene production routes. Green Chemistry, 19(24), https://doi.org/10.1039/C7GC02444D

This study is an LCA of three graphene production routes: electrochemical exfoliation of graphite rods, chemical oxidation and subsequent chemical or thermal reduction and chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Different processes for each route are analy... Read More about Comparative LCA of different graphene production routes.

Environmental aspects of use of recycled carbon fibre composites in automotive applications (2017)
Journal Article
Meng, F., McKechnie, J., Turner, T., Wong, K. H., & Pickering, S. J. (in press). Environmental aspects of use of recycled carbon fibre composites in automotive applications. Environmental Science and Technology, 51(21), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.7b04069

The high cost and energy intensity of virgin carbon fibre manufacture provides an opportunity to recover substantial value from carbon fibre reinforced plastic wastes. In this study, we assess the life cycle environmental implications of recovering c... Read More about Environmental aspects of use of recycled carbon fibre composites in automotive applications.

Recycling graphene from supercapacitor electrodes as reinforcing filler for epoxy resins (2017)
Journal Article
Jiang, G., & Pickering, S. J. (2019). Recycling graphene from supercapacitor electrodes as reinforcing filler for epoxy resins. Waste and Biomass Valorization, 10(1), 215-221. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12649-017-0039-2

A wet shredding process has been developed for recycling graphene from the electrodes of supercapacitors into polymer composites. At first, supercapacitors are cut open to expose the interior graphene based electrodes. The electrodes are heat-treated...

© 2017 American Chemical Society. We report the construction and use of a vortex reactor which uses a rapidly rotating cylinder to generate Taylor vortices for continuous flow thermal and photochemical reactions. The reactor is designed to operate un... Read More about Continuous Photo-Oxidation in a Vortex Reactor: Efficient Operations Using Air Drawn from the Laboratory.
