Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market for portable electronics due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate. However, the demand for lithium-ion batteries in emerging applications such as electric vehicles and grid storage has placed increased pressure on the supply chain of vital battery materials.
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent research have demonstrated the significant potential of porous coordination polymers in encapsulating nanoclusters to enhance graphene compatibility. This synergistic combination offers promising opportunities for improving the properties of graphene-based composites. By strategically selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nan
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we present a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-carbon nanotube nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The preparation process involves a two-step approach, first bonding SWCNTs onto a appropriate substrate and then introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a solvothe
