​QUT researchers secure funding to turn waste into graphene cooling materials 

The Australian Economic Accelerator Ignite program has granted funding to seven Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research teams, totaling in more than AU$2.7 million (around US$1.9 million). The projects are part of a AU$725 million national investment to fast-track high-impact research with strong potential for real-world application.

One of these projects, led by Dr. Zengji Yue from the QUT School of Chemistry and Physics, brings together several QUT researchers with industry partners Elumina Global and Auziq. The research aims to develop a new way of making graphene heat-dissipating materials for batteries and electronic devices, using waste materials such as leaves, grass, wood, sawdust, and even food waste.
