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 vital battery mat
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 incorporation. This synergistic strategy offers unique opportunities for improving the properties of graphene-based composites. By carefully 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) modified with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The preparation process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a hydrothermal method.
