Lithium-ion batteries lead the market for portable electronics due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate. Nevertheless, 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 MOFs in encapsulating quantum dots to enhance graphene compatibility. This synergistic combination offers unique opportunities for improving the performance of graphene-based materials. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, researchers can opt
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we present a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently attached with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a solvothermal
