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 research have demonstrated the significant potential of porous coordination polymers in encapsulating nanoclusters to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic approach offers promising opportunities for improving the efficiency of graphene-based composites. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanopartic
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we describe a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-carbon nanotube nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a compatible substrate and then introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a copre
