By conducting an in-depth evaluation into the FJH technique as well as other methods such as chemical vapor deposition, this review seeks to determine which is the most effective method. With high-voltage pulses, FJH can quickly transform waste materials rich in carbon, such as biomass and plastics, into superior quality graphene, while also producing hydrogen gas as a by-product. FJH has been estimated to use around 7.2 kJ/g of energy which is considerably lower than other methods, and it also has a higher scalability and a 90% lower carbon footprint than the classical methods and does not need as many costly catalysts and undergoes less energy demanding processes like electrolysis, which makes it more economically viable. Its usage has been extended to cover energy storage, hydrogen systems, and water purification. With such complex systems, there is bound to be variation in feedstock and defect control which can be solved using advanced AI/ML optimization and better pre-treatments. FJH is one step closer to achieving circular economy goals by turning waste products into materials of value, demonstrating the ability to mass produce hydrogen and graphene in an economical manner to aid in the ideal of a carbon–neutral energy future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18283,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science for Energy Technologies","volume":"9 ","pages":"Pages 14-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146090553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optical spectroscopy indicated a strong UV absorption edge and an indirect bandgap of 4.86 eV, consistent with DFT-predicted 4.59 eV. First-principles calculations verified high thermodynamic stability (E<sub>0</sub> = −34347.433  eV, B<sub>0</sub> = 192.878 GPa, ΔH<sub>f</sub> = -5755  kJ/mol) and a lattice parameter of a = 12.16 Å. The material exhibited strong UV absorption (5.6 × 10<sup>3</sup> cm<sup>−1</sup>), dielectric constant (ɛ<sub>1</sub> = 4.8), and refractive index (n = 1.8). This work pioneers a sustainable materials design strategy, merging waste remediation with the creation of optoelectronic garnet materials for next-generation energy-related optoelectronic and ceramic applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18283,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science for Energy Technologies","volume":"8 ","pages":"Pages 256-268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145733056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
