University of Illinois researchers turned waste pomelo peels into self-powered devices that generate electricity and monitor ...

A pomelo fruit typically weighs 1 to 2 kilograms (2 to 4.5 pounds), and the peel accounts for 30% to 50%. “If we can upcycle the peel to higher-value products instead of simply throwing it away ...

The ability to determine the energy of incident photons is the real kicker here, though. Pomelo can detect energies from 50 keV all the way up to 3 MeV, and display them as graphs using linear or ...

In a new study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers explore ways to utilize waste pomelo-peel biomass to develop tools that can ...
