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. 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
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent studies have demonstrated the significant potential of MOFs in encapsulating quantum dots to enhance graphene integration. This synergistic strategy offers promising opportunities for improving the performance of graphene-based materials. By carefully selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, researchers can optimi
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) 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 introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a h
