Carbon Flower Nano-Electrodes
Carbon Flower Nano-Electrodes - the nano-patterned high surface area electrode fabricated out of RF (resorcinol formaldehyde) gel precursor. Researchers in the laboratory of Chancellor's Professor Marc Madou, Ph.D., use these fractal electrodes to create efficient micro biofuel cells that contributes to the creation of sustainable energy sources.
