White graphene: the future of cooling systems

The air cooling system of electronic components for many reasons are a thing of the past with many disadvantages. They are big, they are noisy and consume additional electricity, to name a couple of examples of their shortcomings.





However, the question of archaic coolers in the near future can be solved through the use of cooling systems, created on the basis of material called white graphene. According to scientists, it is perfect for cooling small electronic devices.

Researchers from rice University have conducted several simulation experiments on heat removal through the three-dimensional structure consisting of boronitride, also known as white graphene. In their usual two-dimensional form it has the usual hexagonal structure of graphene. Scientists decided to test whether it is possible to use the natural properties of its thermal conductivity, if the material becomes three-dimensional form.

The simulation model showed that the 3D structure of white graphene, two dimensional sheets of material interconnected boronitride nanotubes — have the ability to quickly distribute the heat in different directions. Computer models also showed that by increasing the length and density of nanotubes connecting in a certain way, it is possible to achieve heat dissipation in a certain direction. The shorter the tube, the slower the heat is given, the longer the faster.

Despite the fact that while the study is based on simulation models, the scientists say that white graphene can become an integral part of the "3D expansion system" of the future for small electronics.published
