Lithium-ion batteries prevail over 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 essential battery
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent studies have demonstrated the significant potential of porous coordination polymers in encapsulating nanoclusters to enhance graphene compatibility. This synergistic approach offers novel opportunities for improving the efficiency of graphene-based devices. By strategically selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles,
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we describe 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 attaching SWCNTs onto a compatible substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a coprecipita
