Carbon black is a highly conductive ... "Given the widespread use of concrete globally, this material has the potential to be highly competitive and useful in energy storage." ...

There’s a story from MIT that might just be the real thing, though, as a team from that university claim to have made a viable supercapacitor from materials as simple as cement, carbon black ...

Researchers in Melbourne, Australia, are replacing the cement in concrete with a surprising material: fibers from high-visibility vests, SBS News reports. Associate Professor Malindu Sandanayake ...

To make concrete, limestone, or calcium carbonate, is mixed with clay and other materials and then calcined at high temperatures, so CO2 is released via the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate.

Building materials such as concrete have the potential to store billions of tons of carbon dioxide away from the atmosphere, according to a new study from UC Davis. Image shows UC Davis Aggie Square ...
