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 vital battery materi
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent studies have demonstrated the significant potential of metal-organic frameworks in encapsulating nanoclusters to enhance graphene compatibility. This synergistic approach offers novel opportunities for improving the efficiency of graphene-based devices. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, researc
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we outline 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 bonding SWCNTs onto a appropriate substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a hydrotherma
