Graphene Oxide for Cloud Seeding Patent | PDF | Nucleation | Nanoparticle
This document discloses a 3D reduced graphene oxide/silica dioxide (PrGO-SN) composite material for ice nucleation. The PrGO-SN composite is synthesized through a sol-gel process involving graphene oxide, ammonia, ethanol, and tetraethyl orthosilicate. Testing showed the PrGO-SN composite can initiate ice nucleation at -8°C and its ice nucleating particle number increases rapidly with decreasing temperature. The PrGO-SN composite is proposed as an improved material for applications like cloud seeding due to its high ice nucleation ability and potential for low-cost mass production.

WO2020148644A1 - 3d reduced graphene oxide/sio 2 composite for ice nucleation - Google Patents
Most studies focus on hygroscopic materials with high water vapor adsorbing capabilities as potential cloud seeding materials, and they are only effective at above -zero temperatures. However, studies on cloud seeding at subzero temperature (cold cloud seeding) have not seen much progress, with Agl as the most commonly used cold cloud seeding materials for decades, which is often associated with controversial environmental risk.

Evaluate the effectiveness of newly developed nanotechnology-based cloud-seeding materials compared to traditional methods.
New nanotechnology-based materials, such as core/shell NaCl/TiO2 particles, are more effective than traditional methods as they can absorb larger amounts of water vapor and form larger droplets, enhancing rain production. These materials use less AgI, are more efficient at lower humidities, and are more active below -5°C, improving precipitation efficiency compared to traditional AgI methods .

How do graphene derivatives contribute to ice nucleation, and what are their limitations?
Graphene derivatives such as graphene oxide exhibit ice nucleating abilities because water molecules are efficiently captured by various hydrophilic oxygen-contained functional groups on graphene. However, their ice nucleation activities are typically observed at lower temperatures (below -20°C), which is less ideal compared to other materials like K-feldspar and silver iodide that function at higher temperatures .

What are the potential advantages of a 3D graphene oxide structure for ice nucleation applications?
The 3D graphene oxide structure offers excellent thermal conductivity and a highly porous framework, which favors ice nucleation of supercooled water. Its hydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles enhance adsorption and condensation of water vapor, supporting nucleation and growth of ice crystals. These structural advantages are not achieved by standard ice nucleating particles .

October 7, 2019 - Graphene, the one-atom-thick wonder material, can be described with a stack of superlatives: it’s the strongest, stiffest and most-conductive material ever measured, among other things. It even won its discoverers a Nobel prize in 2010. But, 15 years after it was discovered, how close is it to living up to its commercial promises? Nature Nanotechnology explores the graphene-based technologies on (or almost on) the market and finds that the material is on track to deliver. ...
