Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market for portable electronics due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate. Nonetheless, 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 critical battery mate
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent investigations have demonstrated the significant potential of metal-organic frameworks in encapsulating nanoparticles to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic combination offers promising opportunities for improving the performance of graphene-based devices. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanopa
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we describe a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently attached with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The fabrication process involves a two-step approach, first attaching SWCNTs onto a appropriate substrate read more and then incorporating Fe3O4 nanopartic
