Woah no way, if this was true there’d be so much more news about it!!

:faded:

I know this site is 90% Americans but I’d still advise against doxxing yourself like this comrade :kim-salute:

“B-b-but their net worth isn’t a liquid asset! They don’t actually have access to spend that money!” :kitty-cri-screm: :galaxy-brain:

Can’t wait. Also I never realised until now that he tweeted the Hallowed Words at exactly 4:20 :che-smile:

:owl-pissed: I’m onto you. You’re just Dirt_Owl trying to masquerade as Yurt_Owl, Shirt_Owl, and now Sea_Gull. You’re gonna pay for these shenanigans one day, Dirl_Owl :fidel-bat:

Nah man, I’m only boofin with squee :brett-crying:

If you get this reference you’re a disgusting :liberalism:

Wtf 7DeadlyFetishes was always just a cringe as fuck brand??

Yep! I carbonised samples between 600 and 1200 C, well within the temperature range of a gas stove, and aye distilled water would be fine! I used ultrapure but that’s just because you get these things literally on tap in labs

Congrats! PhD student in condensed matter physics/electrochemistry here! Loads of high-surface-area carbon materials (e.g. activated charcoal, supercapacitor electrodes) are made using toxic chemicals to increase their surface area, but there’s plenty of non-toxic and waste biological matter (e.g. pine needles) which when carbonised do this themselves. Using pine needles as an example, under heating and carbonisation of carbohydrate structures etc. within the leaves, really useful minerals (e.g. magnesium) present within them both react with the carbon lattice to create disorder and intercalate between the graphitic layers which teases them apart. These “mineral porogens” are then washed out, leaving behind micro- and nanopores.

There are soooo many ways of working with nature to create very intricate and deliberately engineered microstructures with really basic equipment - I did this with nothing but a hot plate, tube furnace, and mortar & pestle! Warmed pine needles on a hot plate made the lab smell DIVINE.
