Hot Carrier Propagation Across Graphene Holds Promise for Nanoscale Bolometry and Calorimetry

Due to the weak electron-phonon coupling in graphene, 2D Dirac massless carriers can present a much more elevated temperature than the graphene lattice. Such hot carriers propagate over long distances resulting in novel thermoelectric and optoelectronic phenomena.

Single-Atom-Thick Coating of Graphene Could Improve Heat Transfer of Condenser Surfaces

Most of the world’s electricity-producing power plants — whether powered by coal, natural gas, or nuclear fission — make electricity by generating steam that turns a turbine. That steam then is condensed back to water, and the cycle begins again.
