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 vital battery materials.

Recent studies have demonstrated the significant potential of metal-organic frameworks in encapsulating nanoparticles to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic approach offers novel opportunities colloidal gold nanoparticles for improving the properties of graphene-based composites. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the en

In this study, we describe a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized 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 hydrothermal me
