Scientists Discover an Amazing Practical Use For Peanut Shell Waste

Scientists Discover an Amazing Practical Use For Peanut Shell Waste : ScienceAlert

Worldwide peanut production results in more than 10 million tons of waste piling up each year in the form of discarded shells – but now scientists have discovered a method of turning this biomass into graphene-like carbon materials.

"What we have shown in this work is that basic peanut shells can be turned into high-quality graphene, using much lower energy than is currently required and therefore at a lower cost. We also do not need to use any chemicals, so there is an added environmental benefit."

can the experts tell me why this won't lead to cheap mass produced graphene this time?
