Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market for portable electronics due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate. However, 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 material
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent studies have demonstrated the significant potential of metal-organic frameworks in encapsulating quantum dots to enhance graphene integration. This synergistic approach offers promising opportunities for improving the performance of graphene-based composites. By carefully selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, r
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we present 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 immobilizing SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a hydrother
