Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cascaded biomass oxidation in a dish burner with ejection firing. The fuel (18), together with oxygen-containing primary air, is fed to a gasifier dish (8) having high thermal conductivity, in which the fuel is gasified by pyrolysis in a first combustion step, the resulting gas is conducted through guiding devices (6, 9) over the dish edge (11) of the gasifier dish, or over recesses on the upper dish edge, to the outside wall of the dish (8), and is enriched with oxygen-containing secondary air in the intermediate chamber (10) and converted into a cyclone flow around the outer shell dish during a second combustion step, through the convection of which strong thermal feedback is created, together with the high reflection of the thermal radiation on the guiding devices.

Methods for making the exfoliated carbon nanotubes include suspending carbon nanotubes in a solution containing a nanocrystalline material, precipitating exfoliated carbon nanotubes from the solution and isolating the exfoliated carbon nanotubes. Nanocrystalline materials may include nanorods, hydroxyapatite and various hydroxyapatite derivatives.  In some embodiments, methods for making exfoliated carbon nanotubes include preparing a solution of carbon nanotubes in an acid and filtering the solution through a filter to collect exfoliated carbon nanotubes on the filter. In some embodiments, a concentration of carbon nanotubes in the acid is below the percolation threshold. In other various embodiments, energy storage devices and polymer composites containing exfoliated carbon nanotubes are described herein. The energy storage device may be a battery containing at least two electrodes and an electrolyte in contact with the at least two electrodes. At least one of the electrodes in the energy storage device advantageously contains exfoliated carbon nanotubes. The polymer composites are prepared by mixing exfoliated carbon nanotubes with a polymer material. After being mixed in the polymer material, the carbon nanotubes maintain their exfoliated state.
