Lithium-ion batteries lead 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. This
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent investigations have demonstrated the significant potential of porous coordination polymers in encapsulating nanoparticles to enhance graphene integration. This synergistic approach offers promising opportunities for improving the performance of graphene-based materials. By carefully selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanop
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 fabrication process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a solvotherm
