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 essential battery ma
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent studies have demonstrated the significant potential of MOFs in encapsulating nanoparticles to enhance graphene integration. This synergistic combination offers novel opportunities for improving the efficiency of graphene-based composites. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, researchers can adjust
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we outline a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The preparation process involves a two-step approach, first attaching SWCNTs onto a compatible substrate and then introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a solvother
