Microwave synthesis of carbon onions in fractal aggregates using heavy oil as a precursor (2018)
Journal Article
Adam, M., Hart, A., Stevens, L. A., Wood, J., Robinson, J. P., & Rigby, S. P. (2018). Microwave synthesis of carbon onions in fractal aggregates using heavy oil as a precursor. Carbon, 138, 427-435. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2018.07.066

In this work we report a method for preparing carbon onions through microwave heating of heavy oil. It was shown that microwave heating of heavy oil mixed with a carbon catalyst at 300 W leads to the growth of a several-centimetre long fractal carbon...

Understanding the unusual fluidity characteristics of high ash Indian bituminous coals (2018)
Journal Article
Das, B., Suresh, A., Dash, P., Chandran, S., Castro-Díaz, M., Stevens, L. A., & Snape, C. E. (2018). Understanding the unusual fluidity characteristics of high ash Indian bituminous coals. Fuel Processing Technology, 176, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuproc.2018.04.003

High-temperature rheometry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are two complementary techniques that have been used to investigate fluidity development quantitatively in the < 53 µm and 53-212 µm size fractions of high ash Indian non-coking coals...
