Lithium-ion batteries dominate 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 critical battery mat
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent investigations have demonstrated the significant potential of MOFs in encapsulating quantum dots to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic combination offers promising opportunities for improving the properties of graphene-based materials. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, researchers
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we present a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-carbon nanotube nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently attached with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The preparation process involves a two-step approach, first attaching SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a copre
