Lithium-ion batteries lead 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 materia
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent research have demonstrated the significant carbon quantum dots potential of porous coordination polymers in encapsulating nanoparticles to enhance graphene compatibility. This synergistic approach offers promising opportunities for improving the properties of graphene-based composites. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the en
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we describe a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently attached with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first attaching SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a coprecip
