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. Nonetheless, 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
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent studies have demonstrated the significant potential of metal-organic frameworks in encapsulating nanoparticles to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic strategy offers promising opportunities for improving the efficiency of graphene-based composites. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles,
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) modified with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The fabrication process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a solvothermal m
