  • Patent number: 11885012
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the production of high quality graphene. In particular, the invention relates to single-step thermal methods which can be carried out in an ambient-air or vacuum environment using renewable biomass as a carbon source. Specifically, the invention comprises heating a metal substrate and carbon source in a sealed ambient environment to a temperature which produces carbon vapour from the carbon source such that the vapour comes into contact with the metal substrate, maintaining the temperature for a time sufficient to form a graphene lattice and then cooling the substrate at a controlled rate to form a deposited graphene.

  • Patent number: 10914493
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to multi-stage falling particle receivers and methods of falling particle heating. As the particles fall through the receiver, the particles are periodically collected and released by flow retarding devices. The periodic catch-and-release of the particles falling through the receiver reduces particle flow dispersion, increases particle opacity and solar absorption, and reduces erosion and damage to surfaces caused by direct particle impingement.

  • Publication number: 20140326078
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an optical sensing apparatus for measuring a change in a first property. The optical sensing apparatus comprises first and second optical fibre portions and a sensing region for exposing both the first and second optical fibre portions to a change in an applied force. The force is, or is related to, the first property and has a component that is transversal to the optical fibre portions. The apparatus further comprises a holder for holding the first and second optical fibre portions in the sensing region. The first and second optical fibre portions are arranged relative to each other such that the change in the force results in a first change of an optical property of the first optical fibre portion and in a second change of the optical property of the second optical fibre portion and wherein the first change differs from the second change.
